(1660 Johnson Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, Entrance 2)
Introduction: In the past year, the largest park in the City of Atlanta has been built in a low-income, predominantly black community in Atlanta, and Microsoft has announced its intentions to build a tech campus right by the park. As an under-resourced and historically marginalized community, Grove Park residents are highly vulnerable to gentrification and displacement as a result of these major infrastructure investments. For this event, we will take a tour of Westside Park and the surrounding community to learn more about what equitable and fair community development will require, including affordable housing, better transportation, and economic development, so that the people who live here are able to stay here and benefit from the revitalization of their community.
Details:This will be a community walking tour. The tour will start at Westside Park, 1660 Johnson Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, Entrance 2. The main points on the walking route will be the Westside Park Overlook, Grove Park’s Park, and Yeou-Rong’s home in the community. The tour will be about 2 miles of walking in total. If people would just like to attend the Westside Portion of the tour, it will be about half a mile of walking.
Speaker Bio: Yeou-Rong Jih is a Program Officer at The Kresge Foundation, which helps cities combat and adapt to climate change while advancing racial and economic equity. Before joining Kresge, You served as the Director of Urban Initiatives at Greenlink Analytics and the Senior Manager of Resilience Policy and Programs for the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Resilience to help cities and community-based organizations build more equitable climate and energy solutions through strong city-community partnerships.

新冠疫情下的網路犯罪型態
March 13 (Saturday) at 10:00 AM by Dr. Edward Huang 黃建中教授, George Mason University
Dr. Edward Huang’s research focuses on supply chain analysis, and he has participated in projects funded by NSF, AFOSR, IARPA, CICMHE, and POSTECH. Dr. Huang will focus on the operations of illicit actors in the cyberworld, in both the open web and dark web, and the supply chains and payment systems for online drug sales, counterfeit pharmaceuticals, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These illicit supply chains of vital medical products pose an unprecedented risk to public health (and security). 黃建中教授任教於George Mason 大學，並與不同美國聯邦組織如國家科學基金會、空軍科學研究室等機構合作從事各類數據分析的研究。黃教授將在這個專題座談中，運用數據分析指出新冠疫情中假藥、劣質醫療產品與疫苗等如何充斥線上銷售市場，並危及公衛安全。
The Promotion and Preservation of Chinese Language Heritage: Experience from Homeschooling, Facebook, to Chinese Debate International
推廣中文的承 傳:從臉書到國際網絡辯論課的里程
講者: Dr. Oliver Tu 杜立崑醫師 時間: February 27 (Saturday) at 10:00 AM (Eastern Time, US and Canada)
The preservation of a minority language heritage in an anglophone society is full of difficulties, particularly for a language, such as Chinese, which is three to four times as difficult to learn for English speakers compared to other Germanic or Romance languages. Dr. Tu will share his family’s journey in homeschooling their two teenage daughters’ Chinese, the online promotion of similar effort to other families around the country, and the establishment of online Chinese debate classes to aid in such effort in the era of COVID-19. 學習中文的困難程度是學習德文等歐系語言的三、四倍以上。杜立崑醫師在臉書與部落格上向全美各地分享推廣他與孩子在家學習中文的經驗，最終創辦了「國際中文辯論課」網站，提供網路中文朗誦與辯論課程，在疫情中繼續推動中文學習。
