Amazing Adaptations (Zoom)
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.
Touch Tank Tuesday (FB Live)
Join us weekly on Facebook LIVE to see a surprise critter from our touch tanks. Each week, we will select a new species from the tank to share while live streaming.
We will be talking about the species, showing their special features, and taking questions from the public.
Zoom into Lunch & Learn about ... Indigenizing Platforms: Perspectives on Facebook from Island Melanesia
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.
