SUMMARY:Environment Seminar Series: 'Anneal this Breath': Reading Glass\, Poetics\, and Nuclear Genealogies with Yhonnie Scarce in South Australia with Rebecca H. Hogue
DESCRIPTION:When and Where\n\n\n\nWednesday\, March 06\, 2024 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nRebecca H. Hogue\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Seminar \nWhen the United Kingdom–in partnership with the Australian Government–detonated nuclear weapons on Anangu Pitjantjatjara Country in South Australia from 1952-1963\, they did so under the veil of government secrecy. The effects of nuclear radiation\, however\, could not be contained. Sixty years later\, Kokatha and Nukunu artist Yhonnie Scarce’s blown glass yam mushroom cloud and bush banana installations (2016-2023) draw attention to the ramifications of nuclear radiation on her grandfather’s Country\, particularly nuclearized food environments and Indigenous mortality. In response to her installations\, Kokatha poet Ali Cobby Eckermann (2016) and Narungga poet Natalie Harkin’s (2019) wrote ekphrastic lamentations to honor Scarce’s commitments to anti-nuclear genealogies. Together these works explore the long history of Indigenous removal in Aboriginal Country and interrogate the material and aesthetic relationships between transhistorical arts and the legacies of radiation empires through place-based knowledges. These intimate archives in conversation\, I argue\, suggest the ways that nuclear proliferation in the 21st century is felt from the inside out: in food\, in body\, and in breath. \nAbout the Speaker \nRebecca H. Hogue (she/they) is an ACLS Fellow and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard University. Rebecca grew up on the island of Oʻahu as a descendent of Scottish immigrants\, and writes about empire\, militarization\, and the environment in the Pacific Islands and Oceania. Her current book project\, Nuclear Archipelagos\, examines Indigenous women’s anti-nuclear arts and literatures in the Pacific. Her work can be found in The Journal of Transnational American Studies\, Amerasia\, Critical Ethnic Studies\, International Affairs\, and elsewhere. In Fall 2024\, she will join the faculty at the University of Toronto\, St. George\, as an Assistant Professor in the Department of English. \nRegister \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAvdOCorjIrGNw_-e1DzFPnH3wj7wnlqLLF#/registration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information\n\nevents.environment@utoronto.ca\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCategories\n\n\n\nSeminars\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudiences\n\n\n\nOpen to All\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Information\n\nhttps://www.environment.utoronto.ca/events/environment-seminar-series-anneal-breath-reading-glass-poetics-and-nuclear-genealogies

SUMMARY:Petroleum 238: A seven-year investigation of oilfield radioactivity
DESCRIPTION:In an extraordinary seven-year investigation\, science journalist Justin Nobel traveled the country reporting on the oil and gas industry\, and learned that much more comes to the surface at a well than just oil and gas. Each year\, the industry produces billions of tons of waste — much of it toxic and radioactive. The fracking boom has only worsened the problem. \nWhere does this waste go? Justin’s book\, Petroleum-238: Big Oil’s Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It — to be published in April — explores this question. He found that waste from oil and gas production is shielded by lax regulations and legal loopholes. As a result it has been spilled\, spread\, injected\, dumped\, and emitted across the country – including being used to fertilize crops\, de-ice roads\, and even to build school playgrounds. \nIn addition to voluminous academic research\, Justin’s account relies on intimate stories from whistle-blowers in the oil and gas industry\, courageous workers and community activists. He also explores a trove of never-before released industry and government documents. \nIn this webinar\, co-hosted with The New School at Commonweal and the Science and Environmental Health Network (SEHN)\, Justin will speak about the book and the reporting and research journey that led him there. We will focus specifically on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota\, where intensive oil and gas development has put the community and its land\, air\, and water at risk. James Brugh\, a tribal member of Fort Berthold in western North Dakota\, will discuss his work to protect his family\, his community and the environment from the harms of unconventional oil and gas development. \nDr. Larysa Dyrszka\, a retired pediatrician and co-founder of Concerned Health Professionals of New York\, now a program of SEHN\, will discuss how radioactive substances brought to the surface in oil and gas development pose threats to the industry’s workers\, the environment\, and communities in oil and gas country\, with children at particular risk. \nCHE Director Kristin Schafer will moderate the conversation. \nFeatured Speakers\nJames Brugh is a writer\, husband and father\, and tribal member of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in western North Dakota. He lives in the community of Four Bears and has advocated tirelessly for the protection of his family\, the environment\, and his community against rampant and relentless oil and gas development. \nJustin Nobel writes on science and environment for US magazines\, literary journals and investigative sites. His investigation into the radioactivity brought to the surface in oil and gas production and the various pathways of contamination posed to the industry’s workers\, public and communities\, and the environment was published in 2020 with Rolling Stone Magazine\, “America’s Radioactive Secret” and awarded best longform narrative by the National Association of Science Writers. Justin’s book on this topic\, Petroleum-238: Big Oil’s Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It will be published in April 2024 and can be pre-ordered at this link. \nDr Larysa Dyrszka is a graduate of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Following residency and board certification in pediatrics\, she practiced general pediatrics and held the position of Director of Pediatrics at Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck\, NJ. She has been a United Nations representative to ECOSOC with the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations\, where her work was focused on children’s rights\, particularly health. In 2020 she was appointed by the Sullivan County\, NY\, Legislature to serve on the Sullivan County Health Services Advisory Board. Dr Dyrszka has become an advocate for public health on the issue of oil and gas exploration\, production\, and its infrastructure. She is a founding member of Sullivan Area Citizens for Responsible Energy Development. Together with fellow NY medical colleagues\, she founded Concerned Health Professionals of New York\, and has been involved in the production of nine editions of their Compendium of Scientific\, Medical\, and Media Findings Demonstrating Risks and Harms of Fracking and Associated Gas and Oil Infrastructure. She is also on the Board of Physicians for Social Responsibility – New York. \nLead photo: Julie Dermansky. \n\nSlides & Resources\n\nNobel\, J. 2024.
