CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Drawing the Sea Near: Satoumi and Coral Reef Conservation in Okinawa
C. Anne Claus, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, American University, Washington DC
Please register here in advance for this Zoom webinar: https://myumi.ch/pdYAd
Claus will discuss her recent ethnography that details the decade-long transformation in transnational conservation at an Okinawan field station. In shifting from more traditional distancing practices to a “conservation-near” approach, transnational conservationists together with islanders created an unusually inclusive, experiential, and collaborative form of conservation in Okinawa’s coral reefs. The resulting projects were as consequential for conservationists as they were for islanders.
