In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, social norms, media pressures and government policies promote division and fear of the other. This constructed understanding of the other often prohibits relationship and harvests fears that lead to perpetuated violence and injustice in the region. However, two organizations, the Abrahamic Reunion and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, exist to combat the hatred and violence by promoting understanding across conflict divides.  These two groups design spaces where individuals on opposing sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can foster relationships and develop more complete understandings of the other that contradict the polarized stereotypes promoted by their government and media.  Using Martin Buber’s theory of I-Thou and Judith Butler’s theory of Performativity, it is clear that what these two groups accomplish is distinct and has lasting, positive impacts on the individuals affected by their work

     Campfires on damp, cloudy nights bring 
out as much profound wisdom as ghost 
stories, but long before we were sending 
smoke through the tree canopy of Peregrine 
Springs, my classmates and professors had 
leaked humor and intellect into odd phrases. I 
present these words here to layout the 
weekend’s events. 
     I don’t like eating two stalks of celery. It takes a 
long time. I’d rather drink it. Spoken by a tired 
environmental studies senior preparing for a 
long day after an exhausting Friday night. By 
2016, I honestly don’t know why anyone 
would go through the effort of actually 
chewing vegetables.  
     We just need to make sure we are on the same 
adventure. We only had to organize two 
vehicles, but still couldn’t stay together on the 
route to Cherokee. There are, apparently, 
multiple ways to drive to the Smokies and too 
many rest areas to know which the other car 
stopped at.      
     YO! GRR! WAHU! AHU! After an 
unenthusiastic elk presentation and an 
interesting tour of Cherokee history, we woke 
up by following Sonny Ledford in the beaver 
dance, the bear dance, and the snake dance. 
     He’s started a trend of elk selfies! We 
encountered the elk eating the vegetation next 
to a school building. Admiring through an

open fence might have taken away from the 
wildness of the experience, but I find it hard 
to be indifferent viewing ungulates carrying 
50 pounds of antlers. 
     Deep, deep into the mountains, we found that 
the winter had been tough on the driveway, a mile 
long road into a cove tucked beneath the 
Nantahala Mountains. Hey, this winter has 
been tough on all of us. 
     I have no quotes from the night, mostly 
because my memory is blurred by the 
overpowering fear that the Cherokee legend 
of Spearfinger was personified in any of my 
fellow classmates. After sharing coffee with 
the tower’s resident camel crickets the next 
morning, Thomas Rain Crowe performed 
haunting flute songs layered over the spring’s 
backtrack and told stories of blending the two 
worlds of nature and society. Run on sun time, 
not white man’s time. 
     We’re crossing over into the Atlantic drainage. 
If you spit out the window, it’ll make it to Myrtle 
Beach! We’re almost home, dragged away 
from the peaceful cove, the yipping coyotes, 
and that subtly blooming Linton rose. Our 
ties to the mountains, though never severed, 
are stretched thin for a while. Until then, 
we’ll focus on the morals we learned: Follow 
your bliss, and Way leads to way.

I saw more bikes than cars in 
Copenhagen last week. Step out into 
the street too quickly, and you’d get 
your nose skinned by a cyclist zipping 
in to work. It’s a city that runs mostly 
on public transport and muscle power, 
as people move from bike to bus to 
train to bike to foot and step into the 
office without touching their 
hatchback keys. 
I was there to visit the Danish 
Institute for Study Abroad, the 
organization that hosts Wofford 
students (and hundreds of others) in 
Copenhagen every year. I have to say 
that I would recommend it to anyone 
who’s thinking of going. The classes 
are well run, and with students from 
across the country, the discussions I 
saw were thoughtful and lively. The 
students travel a lot – our own Garrett 
Heath and Porter Crockard are 
heading to Iceland soon to study

Environmental Studies Center - 
5:00pm - “The Anthropomorphized 
YouTube Beepocalypse: Reclaiming 
Urban Bee Stewardship in the Post-
Factual Age” - Robert MacKimmie of 
City Bees 
There will be a catered dinner at 
6:00pm. Please RSVP if you would be 
interested in attending this, as seats will 
be limited.

Electricity: a New Story About

Saturday, October 29 - 9:00am - A 
guided walk at Lake Conestee Nature 
Park, Greenville, led by Conestee 
executive director Dr. Dave Hargett. 
 
The symposium is part of the Santee 
Cooper Lecture Series on Sustainability 
and Energy. It grows out of Orion 
Magazine's Reimagining Infrastructure 
project, for which I wrote the Concrete 
Progress column 2013-2016.

The Reimagining Infrastructure 
Symposium is happening today, 
tomorrow, and Saturday. In an 
election year where the only thing 
our two candidates agree upon is the 
importance of America's 
infrastructure, we're hosting three 
innovators who are 
pushing infrastructure into the 
future. Old infrastructure was all 
about big gray solutions, concrete 
projects that looked and acted the 
same all over the country. We’re 
beginning to realize that 21st-century 
infrastructure must fit its geography 
and ecology, and be tailored to the 
problems and possibilities of each 
landscape. This future is happening 
today, and people like our guests are 
bringing it to us.

Ecosystem management in the oak woodland, chaparral 
and Sierran forest types, economics and valuation in the 
urban interface forest, watershed hydrology, fire ecology, 
and urban and community forestry. It will prepare 
graduate students for further study in forest science, 
perhaps leading to a PhD at another institution. 
     The MS in Agriculture, with a specialization in Soil 
Science, is offered through the College of Agriculture, 
Food, and Environmental Sciences. It provides graduate 
level knowledge and skills for interpretation and 
2
management, for teaching, or for continuation into a 
PhD program.  
     As a prerequisite, students must have a BS degree in 
soil science, geoscience, or physical or biological 
sciences, or a BA degree with proficiency in the basic 
sciences (chemistry, physics, biology, and statistics).  
     Students have access to several thousand acres of
