THINKING WITH OCEANS: FEMINIST AND INDIGENOUS APPROACHES TO INTERDISCIPLINARY MARINE INQUIRY

Catalog description

Explores marine issues of scientific and moral concern by drawing together topics, methods, and principles from traditional ecological knowledges, western science, and environmental feminist philosophy. Examines how different human and nonhuman communities understand and relate to oceans through conversations with guests: including shark scientists, Salish knowledge holders, biologists studying queer whale behavior, experts at the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Hawaiian feminist scholars, and artists playing with scientific representation of sea lives. Examines different epistemic approaches to marine science, the role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and feminist thought in conservation, and unconventional ways to improve relations with marine lives and spaces.
