MDP Director Dr. Carla Roncoli served as discussant for a double panel at the Society for Applied Anthropology Annual Meeting, which this year was held in Santa Fe, NM. Entitled “Anthropologies of the Future: Methods, Ethics, and Applications”, the panel included eight presentations, focused on projects that seek to identify emerging threats and mitigate environmental risks through forecasting, modeling, and scenario-building. The presenters - mostly anthropologists working within trans-disciplinary teams - also showcased participatory approaches that integrate local ways of knowing into effort to build community resilience and disaster preparedness. A conference discussant's task is to synthesize the papers and analyze common themes and notable insights. Drawing on her long-term research on climate forecasting for agricultural risk management, Dr. Roncoli highlighted the convergence of critical inquiry, community engagement, and embracing human agency in research, practice, and advocacy for more equitable and sustainable futures. ——— Carla Roncoli Hilary King Emory University Emory University Laney Graduate School #Anthropology #SocialScience #CommunityEngagement #Participation #IndigenousKnowledge #Modeling #Environment #Agriculture #ClimateChange #RiskManagement #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalGoals #MastersinDevelopment #EmoryMDP #Emory

https://lnkd.in/eDEbqgtD This research article examines the diverse responses of different stakeholders to octopus fishery closures in Zanzibar, Tanzania. We argue that traditional approaches to compliance in #marineprotectedareas are overly simplistic and fail to capture the complexity of motivations and perceptions. By using a qualitative approach #interpretiveethics, we explore the reasons behind (non-)compliance using frameworks derived from sociology, anthropology, and cognitive sciences. Generally, the area-management intervention was supported by participants, signalling the potential for future compliance most commonly based on the recognition of a degraded marine ecosystem in need of protection. However, the diverse and dynamic responses by different livelihood groups (i.e. traders and fishers) indicated on which basis and through which logics compliance behaviour was condoned or legitimated. This type of insight can help managers gauge or anticipate the potential for non-compliance in participatory approaches that can impact the health of marine ecosystems. Recommendations include providing discussion spaces for conservation participants' (not just fishermen or fishery organizations) own meanings to be understood and not assumed. Meanings which create and shape relations, actions and concepts in #marineprotectedarea processes and thus directly impact the uptake and sustainability of conservation interventions.

Roots and Routes Archive: Short Documentary This short documentary is centered on 'Bon Bibi's Pala' or 'Poetic prayers sung to Bon Bibi.' According to the folklore of Bon Bibi, a female deity is regarded as the guardian of the mangrove forest of the Sundarbans. She is believed to protect the honey collectors, crab hunters, fishermen, and women against the attack of tigers (known as 'Dokkhin Rai' according to the folklore). So, before going to the forests, the people in the Sundarbans worship Bon Bibi. The spiritual figure of Bon Bibi is Muslim and is revered by both Hindus and Muslims. These aspects show the social, cultural, existential, and ecological entanglements of humans and more-than-humans in the Sundarbans.

Happy to share that my article titled "Devastative Naturescapes and Superhuman Saviors: Analyzing Postcolonial Ecological Crises in Contemporary Times with a reference to Kornei Chukovksy’s Doctor Powderpill". The article has been published by Ecocritike. Ecokritike is an international, open access, blind and double peer-review journal for academics and researchers who study the fields of Environmental Humanities, Literary Theory and Cultural Criticism and is published by Apeiron Editoria e Comunicazione (Italy). Through attempting a postcolonial critique of the poem "Doctor Powderpill, the article unfolds the possible ‘ecological postcolonialscapes,’ which can be implemented to re-read and reinterpret the existing histories, cultures, literatures, and societies around us in a ‘trans-habitual’ existential way.

Two years ago I wrote “From Speciesism to Theriocide: Wildlife Trade and Industrial Animal Farming as Embodiments of the Genocide–Ecocide Continuum”. Victimizing billions of animals every year, industrial animal farming and wildlife trade appear to me as the main organized forms through which we confine, exploit, torture, and massacre nonhuman animals. I explore why these criminal sectors should be treated as a continuum between genocide and ecocide, not as normal, necessary, legal economies. My paper is a chapter in the book 𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮: 𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘦. You can read my paper here: https://lnkd.in/dVB2kbmc
The authors in ‘Lost Kingdom’ grapple with both the catastrophe of mass animal extinction, in which the panoply of earthly life is in the accelerating process of disappearing, and with the mass death of industrial animal agriculture. Both forms of #anthropogenic violence against animals cast the #Anthropocene as an era of criminality and loss driven by boundless human exceptionalism, forcing a reckoning with and an urgent reimagining of human-#animal relations. Without the sleights of hand that would lump “humanity” into a singular Anthropos of the Anthropocene, the authors recognize the differential nature of human impacts on animal life and the biosphere as a whole, while affirming the complexity of animal worlds and their profound imbrications in human cultures, societies, and industries. Confronting the reality of the Sixth Mass Extinction and mass animal death requires forms of narrativity that draw on traditional genres and disciplines, while signaling a radical break with modern temporalities and norms. Chapters in this volume reflect this challenge, while embodying the interdisciplinary nature of inquiry into non-human animality at the edge of the abyss—#historiography, cultural #anthropology, post-colonial studies, #literarycriticism, critical animal studies, #ethics, #religiousstudies, Anthropocene studies, and #extinction studies entwine to illuminate what is arguably the greatest crisis, for all creatures, in the past 65 million years. Wendy A. Wiseman is a lecturer in Religious Studies at the @University of California Santa Barbara. She writes and presents on climate justice, ecocide law and kincentric relationality, the Anthropocene, and the Sixth Mass Extinction and lives in Istanbul. Burak Kesgin is Assistant Professor and Chair in the Department of Sociology at Istanbul Beykent University. He teaches and publishes in the areas of social movements, environmental sociology, political economy, and inequality. He is co-editor of 'Traces of the Anthropocene' (2022, in Turkish).

Helen (PhD Cambridge University, 2002) at Northumbria University coordinates Sustainable Business modules, linking business & biodiversity, environmental sustainability & education.
Unearthed an old article that has finally appeared open access: "Environmental Problems and the Grand Old Theory of 'Human Nature'." Journal of Ecological Anthropology 16, no. 1 (2013): 61-68.: While the notion of ‘human nature’ has been devaluated from the status of ‘grand theory’ to a marginal anthropological debate, I argue that it deserves to be resurrected to comprehend some of the explanatory gaps inherent in other theories. Industrialisation signifies a turning point in human history, which in combination with certain ‘universal’ human traits led to recent environmental problems. Such universals include but are not limited to, the propensity for technological innovation, the desire to elevate one’s status, and preoccupation with social justice.
