    Weblog 33.2

    Comments


    Today I spent the class time preparing for an interview about Mauna Kea and TMT that I have later in the day with a journalist from the San Diego Union-Tribune. These are some of the questions I will be answering:


    "Do you have a sense on how Native Hawaiians are split on this? Do most seem against construction or for? What about non-Native Hawaiians?

    Are there any compromises that are being discussed, formally or informally that would allow the TMT but would give protesters concessions to some of what they are asking for?

    If there aren’t any being discussed, is there a compromise you can imagine?

    Do you feel the site has been disrespected in the past in the way telescopes were constructed?

    What context do Hawaiian cultural and astronomical heritage mean to you in this controversy?

    Are there talks going on between stakeholders now? Do you know anything about those?"


    I also began working on my Quarter 4 video and my Final Weblog Report (I will be posting it later this evening or tomorrow).
