SUMMARY:Whale-watching in the archives: methodological experimentation for
  more-than-human histories - Anna Guasco (Department of Geography)

DESCRIPTION:This presentation shares some of the methodological challenges
  and possibilities raised by more-than-human histories. Focusing on archiv
 al methods and my doctoral dissertation on histories\, stories\, and justi
 ce 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 th
 e 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-hu
 man histories\, cultural and historical geographies\, environmental justic
 e\, and political ecology to argue for the necessity of interdisciplinary 
 and experimental approaches to archival research for more-than-human histo
 ries.
