Participatory science at the leading edge of a biological invasion: European green crab in Washington State
Join WSG Crab Team’s Dr. Emily Grason on The Stewardship Network’s May webcast.
Webcast description: Over the last decade, the Washington Sea Grant Crab Team has collaborated with community members to monitor for and manage a globally damaging invasive species – European green crabs. From successful early detection to current technical capacity building programs, this group has put scientific knowledge to work for tribes, agencies, and communities seeking to protect their shorelines. Join us for this episode to learn about how Crab Team combines close, sustained partnerships with participatory science to support management goals beyond being “boots in the mud” and harnesses the energy of people connected to place for impactful stewardship.

Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism
Will green capitalism save us from the climate crisis? "Clean" technologies and renewable energy are certainly growing sites of capitalist investment, with government policies playing a key role in making these sectors profitable. But the supply chains that produce the technologies pose vexing dilemmas for the energy transition. These dilemmas are most dramatic at the extractive frontiers of green capitalism: where the natural resources needed to manufacture electric vehicles and build windmills are extracted. In this talk, Thea Riofrancos (Providence College) will unpack these challenges through the lens of lithium, a so-called "critical mineral" essential for its role in decarbonizing one of the most polluting sectors: transportation.
With forecasters predicting an enormous surge in lithium demand, exceeding existing supplies, Global North governments and downstream firms scramble to "secure" lithium, resulting in a new state-corporate alliance and the return of vertical integration. Meanwhile, Global Sou…

Save the Date!
Thrusday, May 21st, 5:00-7:00pm at wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ Intellectual House
The Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Washington hosts an annual literary and storytelling series. Sacred Breath features Indigenous writers and storytellers sharing their craft at the beautiful wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ Intellectual House on the UW Seattle campus.

Both forms are durable and transmit power that teaches us how to live. Both storytelling and reading aloud can impact audiences through the power of presence, allowing for the experience of the transfer of sacred breath as audiences are immersed in the experience of being inside stories and works of literature.
Free and open to the public. Doors open at 4:30pm with light refreshments. Books available for purchase with author signing after the event.

Sea Change Within Us, a recreated 2019 project by Karin Stevens Dance, is a sixty-minute performance that addresses local Washington state water issues and the consequences of climate change, using the voices of real people we interviewed, combined with moving rigid structures of water images by dancing human bodies.
Eight dancers move four large panels into dynamic configurations to explore themes such as rivers and dams, endangered wild Pacific salmon and Southern Resident Orca, melting ice, sea-level rise, flooding, migration, injustices to Indigenous fishing rights, divisive politics, and the complexities of human dis/re/connection. Amid these turbulent thematic layers, grief is embodied in the “Rivers, Dams, Salmon, Orca” section through the actual cries of mother orca Tahlequah. A call to collective awareness emerges in the section “Descending Pressure,” echoing the repeated phrase of a climate activist-artist: “Our bodies are a source of wisdom.”
