Join us via Zoom to talk about the amazing adaptations of our local marine species! From oysters to sea cucumbers, we will discuss what makes each critter unique and why they look the way they do. The perfect place for a budding marine enthusiast to ask questions about the local marine life here in Deep Bay.

Platform studies explores the explosive proliferation of Internet organizations such as Facebook and what it means for social, cultural, political and economic life today. This new field of inquiry has largely focused on the platformization of Euro-American and Asian lifeworlds while often ignoring especially indigenous voices and experiences. We challenge Platform Studies to be more inclusive accounting for experiences such as those that we encountered during our ethnography of digital transformations in Solomon Islands.

 with Marian Riedel, Rachell Moll, Riki Cox, Paige Fisher, Alison Taplay and Leif Rasmussen.
