Drawing on long-term research in the American Midwest, the talk examines what happens when the modern toilet goes flush: where this waste goes, what eventually becomes of it, who is responsible for its management, and who is implicated in its afterlives. It also asks whether this waste is truly \u201cwaste\u201d or might be something more.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Nick shows how sewage sludge, now known as \u201cbiosolids,\u201d has been increasingly adopted as a resource for fertilizing farm fields, urban gardens, and recreational sites. At the same time, this system presents a variety of challenges, from unwanted odors and nagging social stigmas to emerging contaminants present in the municipal waste stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The talk concludes with an invitation to consider alternative approaches to sanitation and new ways of relating to bodily excess in these times of intertwined economic and ecological crises.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0b9c44e\" data-id=\"0b9c44e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7de2341 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7de2341\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"137\" data-end=\"384\"><strong data-start=\"137\" data-end=\"168\">Alisa Keesey<\/strong><br data-start=\"168\" data-end=\"171\" \/>B.A., International Relations, San Francisco State University<br data-start=\"232\" data-end=\"235\" \/>M.Sci., International Agricultural Development, University of California, Davis<br data-start=\"314\" data-end=\"317\" \/>M.A., Cultural Anthropology, University of California, Santa Cruz<\/p><p data-start=\"386\" data-end=\"986\">Alisa leads <b>Design4Earth<\/b>, a new initiative focused on ecological sanitation and community-scale solutions.
