This panel is an invitation to think with non-humans as lively residues of past ecological actions—actions intricately bound with deep geological and atmospheric processes, colonial and imperial histories, secular regimes of knowledge, and ongoing capitalist extraction. 3/4

Extending these insights, the panel turns to spectral ecologies—those environmental phenomena that resist capture by conventional materialist logics…spectral ecologies register environmental presences that flicker at the edge of perception, destabilizing linear notions of time, space, and matter 2/4

Feminist and multispecies perspectives—from Anna Tsing’s notion of more-than-human socialities to Astrida Neimanis’s hydrofeminism and Michelle Murphy’s decolonial chemical relations—have offered anthropology tools for rethinking human-environment relations as…entanglements that exceed the human 1/4
