About:

This event marks the launch of a new, occasional series, "Humanities-Science Exchanges," at the Glasscock Center. The aim of the series is to encourage connection and collaboration between the humanistic and scientific disciplines. These events invite scholars to engage with the same topic - from their own fields or interdisciplinary perspectives - in the spirit of exchanging ideas and opening up to a variety of approaches.

Our first exchange focuses on the relationship researchers have with their nonhuman subjects. What are the ethics of our field methods? How do we decide our field methods? What do we consider before going out into the field? How do we view our relationships with our subjects and the surrounding ecosystem? Alexandra Sacco and Victoria Green will discuss these questions and how they pertain to their corresponding fields of research.

Chair:
