2/ Making a shortcut of my #citationgratitudes in #primatology & transferring a post I made elsewhere (I have no shame.) This is “Concealing protocols: conservation, Indigenous survivance, and the dilemmas of visibility (2020)” by @junerubis.bsky.social & Noah Theriault

[A study on forestry management personnel, their perspectives on human-primate conflict & on the lay people impacted by conflict. Discusses how primate management strategies emerge--arguing for research on human-human dimensions to improve clarity on the human aspect of human-primate conflict]

3/ I feel like DH's work often has under(over?)tones of gender-sex-based violence, & sentence highlights to me how as a white wmn, I must question what it means to "follow" in primatology bcs Im enabled to perpetuate structures of violence (sexism, racism), & must disrupt these

2/ A fav quote abt shift from hunting for sci to conservation sci in primatology: “The best thing to reduce the potency of game for heroic hunting is to demonstrate that inexperienced women could safely do the same thing. Science had already penetrated; women could follow (34).”

2/ EM demonstrates constructing immunology can reinforce normalization of the police state, causing me to reflect on unintended consequences of applying primate physiology to conservation-questioning who is unjustly policed at high rates, normalized as protecting NHprimate health

3/ To stay engaged daily in finishing my degree, I want to highlight some of my favorite citations that have been wonderful sources, & make me excited to finish my work #citationgratitudes #primatology #ethnography #EthnographyInPrimatology

2/ I study the production of knowledge on free ranging, orangutans in primatological fieldwork. I examine underlying colonial legacies in primate conservation, fieldwork labor, & protocols to assess how fieldwork maintains patterns of inequity, amid goals to correct for it
