Attending this event was very insitful to hear more about Steve Mentz and what he believes about blue humanities and why he studies and teaches it! I thought it was lovely to hear everyones questions about the subject! I thought the question towards the end of the session about the wind turbines and the deep ocean was an interesting one as it would affect the sea life in that area and the fact they couldn’t build it that far down. All of the ocean animals which would be affected by something like that could be detrimental. I can hope anyone can see or hear that and learn that it might not be the best. I enjoyed hearing what he also had to say about coming up with more ideas as he is ocean swimming and how the roughness or calmness of the waves can determine how he thinks. I believe what he was saying about using different terms to shift our thinking with blue humanities can really be to our benefit in this class as we dive into this book and learn more about the ocean and all of the nature within it.
