Session Title: The Politics of Conservation Work
Organizer: Kendra Coulter, University of Windsor
Recognizing that conservation is cultural and political work, the
proposed session centers on the politics of conservation. Conservation
is conceptualized, produced and contested by social actors working
across and within different geographic, political economic and
conceptual terrains. This session seeks to explore and problematize the
active production of conservation, and the political economic contexts,
power structures, and hegemonic processes shaping conservation in local,
national and transnational contexts. Papers on conservation work at
different locations on the "conservation chain" and in diverse
ethnographic sites are encouraged.
