Hi All, 

Feel free to attend the following Zoom event on nuclear waste, Navajo uranium mining, and consent co-hosted by Princeton's Anthropology Department and the Natives At Princeton student group. The event will be held this Wednesday 10/26 from 10:00am to 11:30am ET.

Anthropologist Ryo Morimoto’s Nuclear Princeton project has released a student-made short film called “Titration,” which reflects on uranium mining’s impacts on the Navajo Nation. The project represents a year of work in which research fellows interviewed Navajo elders, explored archival materials, and worked with animators and artists.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) technical staff will watch the film and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel & Waste Disposition Sam Brinton will present about their work on consent-based nuclear waste facility siting. After that, DOE personnel will chat about departmental Tribal engagement programs and career opportunities. The event will conclude with group discussion. (Ryo and I will moderate it).

The Nuclear Princeton project is sponsored by Princeton’s Program on Science & Global Security, Council on Science & Technology, High Meadows Environmental Institute, and Center for Digital Humanities. Titration is being screened at several film festivals this year.
