Pamela (taught by Erin): Relationships are messy. Ecology is messy. The natural world is messy. Does “neat and tidy” even exist, or is it a construct of the mind? What if messy is our nature? Here we will explore the in-between, rather than the nodes, rather than the points, the stars-of-the-show in an ecological assemblage that is our human experience. This might be uncomfortable, but uncomfortable is messy, and so are relationships.
