===SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS: CAN FARMING BE GREEN? tbc===

===SOMETHING KINDA FISHY GOING ON, Friday 8 April 6pm===
 +
How good are we at detecting air quality? Can anybody tell if it’s a bad pollution day?
 +
Now that the factories in Norwich have mostly closed or relocated, is air quality even a
 +
problem? We will sniff out the air quality around Magdalen Street and use resources (i.e.
 +
a map of the new one-way system around St Augustine’s, reproductions of paintings of
 +
smoke and smog) to think about the invisibility of air pollution and how that influences
 +
attitudes to its regulation. (Please note 6 pm start time)
