Item Field Notes From Carbon Doomsday: Poems(2023-04-28) Williamson, Rosalind JaneI've been obsessed with climate change for as long as I can remember. The first inklings of this project probably started smoldering back in high school; I once wrote a whole chapbook on the theme over the course of twenty-four hours, though the craft of that particular project was rudimentary at best. This project, though, has larger stakes for me, which is perhaps why I had such a hard time synthesizing my experience of writing it. I know intellectually that no single document can cure the world's ills, but that doesn't mean I didn't want to try. [...]Item Roots: Renewal from Birth and Decay(2023-05-05) Saotonglang, Pornpun KimFor thousands of years, the way of life was symbiotic with the ecology of lowland jungles in then sparsely populated central Thailand. Such is the condition of birth. However, drastic population growth and inevitable changes in societal behavior today have placed the region on a path of physical development that is unsustainable. This trajectory of decay will only result in further destruction if continued. Therefore, there is an urgent need to restore ways of developing, utilizing, and dwelling that are in harmony with landscape and the natural water cycles – the need for renewal. Renewal is neither a nostalgic recreation of the past nor an utter disregard for the present, but rather a bridge between birth and decay. It is the process of identifying the key factors that made our historical relationship with the land symbiotic while addressing today's challenges and potential benefits to create the hybrid solutions that borrow the best of both worlds for a resilient tomorrow. This thesis restructures ways in which land, in the spirit of renewal, can be developed for living.
