Field Notes from the Anthropocene
An anthropologist’s field notes from the ecotones
Anthropos, the human.
Cosmos, the living whole.
This site is a record of the edges, where they meet and where they come apart. I’m an anthropologist who listens at those edges: to forests and floodplains, to women’s stories and wolves’ stories, to the systems that decide who counts as a person and who doesn’t get a voice. What I find, I write down, I speak, I photograph. These are my field notes.
Three ways in ↓
Essays from the edges. On wolves and women, lichen and lineage, the grief of a changing world and the kinships that hold it together.
Dispatches
Small notes in real time. The sound of the wind, the creek under ice, photographs of frost, and a few words about whatever is on my mind today.
Voice Notes
Who I am, how I listen to the world, and the women who raised me without knowing it.
