3/ For primatologists, many know Rubis was a 2023
@IPS_Association featured speaker! & many of her works are great reading for her expertise on #decolonial approaches in conservation esp regarding #orangutans #orangutanconservation

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).”

3/ Martin, Emily. "Toward an anthropology of immunology: The body as nation state." Medical Anthropology Quarterly 4.4 (1990): 410-426.

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

Hi! Im Alysse, PhD Cand. in Anthropology at Rutgers. Live in Davis, CA. Trained in primate physiology, after QEs, switched to ethnography. I study primatology / fieldwork as labor to improve our understanding of how science interacts w society, & how science can be a safer & more inclusive space
