Conversation: Ecological Rejuvenation and Living Well in Disaster's Wake

 

Hiroko Kumaki (Postdoctoral fellow, Dartmouth College Department of Anthropology)

Jun Mizukawa (Lecturer, Lake Forest College Department of Sociology and Anthropology and Department of Religion)

 

This conversation will focus on areas of Northern Japan impacted by the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster. Dr. Kumaki's research explores what it means to live well in a world where certain levels of environmental exposure are considered "reasonable," taking as a case study the "Memorable Food Project," an initiative to share knowledge and cultivate relationships around local food practices. Dr. Mizukawa's research focuses on experimental projects that aim to establish a sustainable, site-specific entanglement across species, specifically a group of "guerilla planters" who ally themselves with geological and ecological forces in the face of global climate change.
