Relocalizing VT: Race as Construct; Seed Starting

Past event
Feb 25, 2021, 9 to 10:30 AM

Thursday morning on Goddard College Community Radio: Race and local resilience, plus tips for seed starting.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Building resilient local communities means, sometimes, facing, understanding, and overcoming what divides us. William Edelman gives us a preview of his First Wednesdays talk in March, in which he argues a 17th century European classification of people into different races was "one of the most historically significant ideas of the modern world." He'll talk about how the idea of race was constructed and what its consequences have been.

As part of the month-long, virtual winter conference of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT), Carolina Lukac of the Vermont Community Garden Network will give a workshop on seed starting on Tuesday, March 2, starting at 6 pm. She'll talk about basic equipment for seed starting, good crops for beginners to start, why a dark basement with LED grow lamps works better than most window ledges, and more.
