    Pocket Nerd: Roslynn Powell talks about taking tech to the woods

    This bonus track taps the deep knowledge to Roslynn Powell.  As a PhD Candidate in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management she is doing amazing research on the emotional labor Black folx do at parks and cultural heritage sites that are working, at long last, to include honest narratives of enslaved people into interpretive work. As a Master's student, Roslynn's work disrupted the assumption that technology necessarily separates people from nature.
