When I put the shell up to my lips
and I taste the meat inside of it
my mind flies through space and time
this oyster would be great with wine
With each chew I go through an
experience
each time it's new
tasting the places and the things
that this little oyster brings
From the ocean to my mouth
and it's clear to me
without a doubt
that oysters hold the soul of the sea
salty morsels for you and me
Purifying whilst providing
food and love
yonically smiling
gender fluid
blind to dying
the coolest shellfish without even trying
As a little spat you flew till you settled down
and then grew
keeping the waters blue and
turning waste into something new
oysters we thank you giving us a way to explore
the depths of the deep blue sea
while sitting on land beneath a tree
oysters we thank you for
allowing us to taste the ocean's floor
we couldn't ask for anything more
than the part you play upon the shore
Oysters
we love youuuuu
ohh
oysters
we love you

11:15-12:45 Anthropocene Lecture Series
Politics in the Age of Environmental Thinking, Andrew Culp
Requried Reading: The Non-political Politics of Climate Change by Erick Swyngedouw
“What happens to the concept of ‘politics’ when ecological crises
become the leading threat to our way of life? Or more provocatively,
what happens when governance ‘no longer confronts us like a subject
facing us, but an environment that is hostile to us’? In this talk, I
discuss how the traditional concept of politics as conflict is
reconfigured by the ecological milieu, a diffusion of complex forces,
and non-human actors.”
Andrew Culp is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Rhetoric Studies at
Whitman College. His work is on the cultural study of new paradigms of power. He recently completed a manuscript, Dark Deleuze and the Death of This World, and his work has appeared in Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities, Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, parallax, Radical Philosophy, and Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action.

Rhys Roth, on Sustainable Public Infrastructure
Rhys co-founded Climate Solutions in 1998, and helped it grow into the Northwest’s most important and influential nonprofit group addressing climate change. In 2013, Rhys was honored as a “Sustainability Trailblazer” by the Sustainable Path Foundation, which said Rhys has “arguably done more than anyone in this region to put the issue of climate change on the radar.”
Late in 2013, Rhys returned to his alma mater, The Evergreen State College, over 20 years after graduating with a Masters of Environmental Studies, to lead the College’s new Center for Sustainable Infrastructure to help bring innovation, new tools, and sustainability excellence to infrastructure planning and investment in the Pacific Northwest. He authored the Center’s inaugural report, “Infrastructure Crisis, Sustainable Solutions,” in November 2014.

Re: GROUPS FOR THURSDAY MEDIA WORKSHOPS
Below are the Morning (Group A) and Afternoon (Group B) students for tomorrow’s media workshops. Please note that we will be meeting in the computer center (I believe Library 2617).
Students at the bottom of the list are noted as unassigned— I scheduled you all for the afternoon and I am hoping that you can form groups when we meet at the workshop (or we can assign you to a group). If your name is not on the list below, presumably because you missed class today, please email me and please attend in the morning and we’ll see what we can do to get you in a group (but please plan to maybe have to attend the afternoon media workshop if we can’t make groups).
