Whale-watching in the archives: methodological experimentation for more-than-human histories
- đ¤ Speaker: Anna Guasco (Department of Geography)
- đ Date & Time: Monday 23 May 2022, 13:00 - 14:00
- đ Venue: Zoom
Abstract
This presentation shares some of the methodological challenges and possibilities raised by more-than-human histories. Focusing on archival methods and my doctoral dissertation on histories, stories, and justice issues surrounding grey whale migration in the North American Pacific, I propose alternative ways of envisioning and practicing archival methods. I will discuss some of the practical challenges of ‘whale-watching in the archives’, and I also will share some stories from my archival research to raise questions about power, memory, knowledge, and agency in these archives. I aim to bring together conversations from history of science (particularly histories of natural history), STS , animal and more-than-human histories, cultural and historical geographies, environmental justice, and political ecology to argue for the necessity of interdisciplinary and experimental approaches to archival research for more-than-human histories.
