Last Teaching Day

Finishing up Rob Nixon's "Slow Violence" on the temporality of environmental and structural violence and then taking up Carol Adams on vegetarianism and intersectional feminism. It's the last lecture, folks are bringing veggie treats for a final potluck/bacchanal while we talk vegetarian theory and practice. Not sure where people's heads will be at -- possibly in an advanced state of exhaustion from all-nighters spent completing their final papers for many of them. I don't mean to formally lecture more than a little bit, we'll see how the conversations unfold informally instead. Perhaps we'll conclude early. I could use a head start on my vacation. (Notice me pretending not to face an arduous grading marathon come tomorrow morning!)
