The Sea is History
<p>The focus of this first season is the ocean as a source of knowledge. Understanding identity and history inevitably requires a study of the seas, the communities it affects, and the secrets it was made to hold in the deep. For our very first episode of “Tomorrow is the Problem,” we explore the sea as a site that carries a collective memory of violence, an underwater collector of identities and meanings obscured by time and cultural erasure. Together with archaeologists Ayana Flewellen and Justin Dunnavant alongside Master Diver and Marine Biology Ph.D. student Kelsey Sapp, we probe the relationship between the sea, its history, and the ongoing ecological impact of contemporary culture.</p>
