SUMMARY:In the Lab and the Bay: Navigating Water Contaminants Along the Texas Coastal Bend
DESCRIPTION:As water travels through its watershed\, it picks up and absorbs much of what it encounters. This can include an array of water contaminants such as microplastics\, pharmaceuticals\, and “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. These contaminants can impact aquatic systems and the creatures that live within them. For instance\, fish can absorb these chemicals and pass them back into the people who eat them.\n \n\nThe issue can be particularly acute in the Texas Coastal Bend region where so much water collects and so many source points of contamination reside.\n \n\nIn this panel\, we will discuss how researchers and managers at the Marine Science Institute and the City of Corpus Christi are working to shed light on the interplay between contaminants and aquatic ecosystems. The panel will also discuss techniques to trace contaminants’ presence\, their impacts on human and environmental health\, and strategies for their mitigation.\n \n\nYou can RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Humanizing Pedagogies: Learning In and Through Water Across Educational Contexts
DESCRIPTION:Water is more than just a life-sustaining material resource. It provides metaphors\, stories\, and images that can connect ideas\, practices\, and lifeways across time and space. As such\, water serves as a humanizing pedagogical tool in the classroom. Its familiarity provides an entry point for learners and its fluidity allows for discussions to link the interconnectedness of our environments\, our histories\, and our bodies together.\n \n\nJoin us for this conversation with educators that operate in diverse pedagogical sites\, ranging from using the sacred waters of Texas to understand Indigenous lifeways\, theater-based embodied practice for learners to connect with their own bodies\, and learning about water management from past societies to link to our current context.\n \n\nYou can RSVP here.
