Multispecies Mutual Ecologies: People and Primates Recasting the Anthropocene Dynamic

 

Agustin Fuentes, professor of anthropology, presented “Multispecies Mutual Ecologies: People and Primates Recasting the Anthropocene Dynamic.” Fuentes was the second speaker in the fall 2022 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.

Human-driven responses to current climate and ecological crises are many and varied and, in some instances, do more harm than good. Fuentes drew on biocultural, ethnographic, demographic and ecological examples to argue for a more inclusive, integrative, and transdisciplinary approach to addressing planetary challenges that decenters mainstream human ecological tactics and recognizes multispecies mutual ecologies to evolve more optimistic views for the future.
