2022-05-26 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
Improving disaster preparation, evacuation, survival, and recovery for those vulnerable to natural hazards such as hurricanes is an ongoing challenge. A better public understanding of the timing and severity of risks can potentially improve decision making and minimize harm. The U-LINK & NOAA supported interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Miami have teamed up with the NOAA National Weather Service (including the National Hurricane Center), and the National Center for Atmospheric Research to improve visual communication of forecast risk and uncertainty for multi-hazard extreme weather events.
Presenters:
Barbara Millet, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Interactive Media, UM School of Communication
Alberto Cairo, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Management, UM School of Communication
Scotney Evans, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Educational and Psychological Studies, UM School of Education
Brian McNoldy, M.S., Senior Research Associate, UM Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science

Deadly Voyages: Haitian Migration Film And Panel Discussion
2022-06-17 18:00 - 21:30 (America/New_York) | Bill Cosford Cinema, 5030 Brunson Drive, Dooly Memorial 225, Coral Gables, FL, 33146, United States
Haitians are risking their lives in the largest maritime migration in nearly two decades. The consequences are tragic.
Join Bahamian writer-director Kareem J. Mortimer as he presents his 2017 drama Cargo, about Haitian migrants being smuggled into the U.S. When a desperate fisherman (played by Warren Brown) turns to human smuggling, he is faced with having to abandon refugees at sea who are a long way from their destination.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion at 8:30 p.m. moderated by Haitian-American writer Edwidge Danticat (Brother, I’m Dying). Participants will include director Mortimer, Miami Herald journalist Jacqueline Charles, migration-focused video artist Edison Penafiel and local migration experts.
The screening, which follows a Miami Herald series by Caribbean Correspondent Jacqueline Charles and visual journalist Jose Iglesias, is presented by the Miami Herald and the Miami Herald Impact Journalism Fund at the Miami Foundation. The series reporting was supported by the Pulitzer Center.
“It’s rare to see a film set in the Bahamas in which a character like James Bond doesn’t figure prominently. Even rarer is to see a film from the Bahamas, such as Kareem Mortimer’s thriller . . . Cargo delivers plenty of singular atmosphere in its all-too-timely tale of a fisherman turned human smuggler.” – Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter.
Event is free, but tickets are required.

Addressing COVID-19 Misinformation and Resiliency Among Latinos Living with HIV: Formative Research Guiding the Latinos Unidos Microgame Intervention
The effects of mitigation strategies including shelter-in-place orders and social distancing combined with the COVID “infodemic” disseminated by media may interact synergistically to worsen already compromised mental health outcomes and medical treatment of PLWH. We propose that a microgame intervention targeting individual resilience skill building and media literacy could be mobilized to protect the mental health of Latino PLWH as well as promote HIV care during the pandemic.
