Drawing from my lived experience with Lake Trout as a member of NunatuKavut who grew up in southern Labrador and a student at a colonial university, I discuss how citation practices are used to influence the political ecology of knowledge infrastructures.
How might we improve citational politics in “tight places” where not only the norms of citation but also the structure of knowledge or research overdetermines what might be done. Or does it?
I get a lot of emails asking how I started the lab, how junior scholars might start labs, and how to transform existing labs. This post outlines how we did it!
When it comes to “decolonizing” Anthropology, diversity or decolonial initiatives often change very little or nothing at all. I suggest that anthropology is currently facing the dilemma of situating itself as a discipline that allows for the possibility of decolonial approaches while being unable to truly decolonize.
This project involves critical listening to reflect on our positionality within our lived environments. The project was conducted as part of CLEAR’s Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program, facilitated by Prakash Krishnan.
CLEAR has worked with Couple3 Films to make a series of short documentaries about the lab and our processes. We’ve also brought those processes into the filmmaking.
