“Bridging Science and Amazonian Knowledge in Ecuador: A Role for the Environmental Humanities”

Using video clips this presentation will lay out fundamental ways in which native Amazonian knowledge differs from science. While science proceeds by controlling variables through emotional distanciation from the object, Native knowledge proceeds by intensifying emotional relationality to nature as a subject with agency.

A free lunch will be served on a first-come, first served basis at Noon, followed by the lecture at 12:30.
