“Bridging Science and Society:
A Global Challenge for 21st Century Research Universities”
Featuring Keith Pezzoli, Ph.D.
UCSD Urban Studies and Planning Program
Dr. Pezzoli’s work merges the power of science, business and art in research and planning for sustainable development. He will describe this integrative process including how he and his colleagues are creating new university-community partnerships and knowledge networks
worldwide. Their approach interconnects a wide range of sustainability solutions (e.g., rain and greywater harvesting, watershed management, biotechnology, green jobs).
Dr. Pezzoli teaches courses about research methods, city-regions, ecology and globalization for UCSD’s Urban
Studies and Planning Program. He also serves as the Principal Investigator of Research Translation and Community Outreach for UCSD’s Superfund Research Program, which includes scientists from ten departments and centers across several of UCSD’s academic divisions. Off campus, Dr. Pezzoli directs the Global Action Research Center—a not-for-profit organization that generates and supports community-based participatory research aimed at creating
sustainable and healthy communities worldwide. One of Dr. Pezzoli’s projects was featured in a UCSD-TV
documentary (November 2009). It highlights how diverse organizations are working together to deal with mounting urban-ecological problems along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Supper Club events include a wine reception, full dinner, and Faculty Club parking in addition to the lecture.
