Our curated selections and guided discussions hope to offer:
Join us as we explore Elisabeth Tova Bailey’s intimate meditation on nature, resilience, and the healing power of unexpected connections. While an illness keeps her bedridden, Bailey watches as the snail takes up residence on her nightstand. Intrigued by its molluscan anatomy, cryptic defenses, clear decision making ability, hydraulic locomotion, and mysterious courtship activities, Bailey becomes an astute and amused observer. The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating is a remarkable journey of survival and resilience, showing us how a small part of the natural world illuminates our own human existence.
In honor of Earth Day, we’ll discuss Douglas Tallamy’s revolutionary call to action for environmental stewardship. Tallamy presents a grassroots approach to conservation that empowers individual homeowners to become custodians of nature. Learn how small changes in our yards and communities can create vital corridors for wildlife and support biodiversity.
Experience director Bong Joon-ho’s powerful exploration of the complex relationships between humans and animals through this visually stunning film. Following the story of a young girl and her beloved super-pig, Okja weaves together themes of friendship, corporate greed, and animal rights in a narrative that challenges our understanding of companionship and consumption.
Sharon Carson, Ph.D., is a Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor in the Departments of English, as well as Philosophy and Ethics at the University of North Dakota. As an OMI volunteer helping with education projects, she is delighted to help launch the Bite-Size Book Club (our own BBC!) to support OMI’s commitments to open discussion of complex topics, community building, and the collaborative creation of better knowledge.
