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 the beings who were never asked. What I find, I write down, I speak, I photograph. These are my field notes.

Dispatches
Essays from the edges. On wolves and women, lichen and lineage, the grief of a changing world and the kinships that hold it together.
Daybook
Small notes in real time. The sound of the wind, the creek under ice, photographs of frost, and a few words about what today did to body, mind, spirit, and land.
Witness
The record and the reckoning. On violence against women, the systems that permit it, and the refusal to look away.
