The title is an homage to #LauraPulido whose "Reflections on a White Discipline" (2002) is still a must read within and beyond #critgeog #humgeog #polecol.
.@outtherejch: quoting #JamesBaldwin: "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." We must face/change who owns/manages the land/environment for our future. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
.@outtherejch: ...it's imperative to think @ hist of race & land re white discipline of geog, settlercolonial relationship to land, #1619Project >> & these projects here are part of institutional disruption to confront/dismantle #whiteness @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
.@outtherejch: Not to miss "Notes from an Angry Black Hunter" too rewire.news/article/2019/02/26/notes... >> positive and many negative responses that lead us back to #wildlife geography... @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
.@outtherejch: What do geographies of wild game growth, process, and consumption say to structures of #foodjustice and #foodinjustice? How could food ways be structured more justly, esp in #ATppalachia? @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
.@outtherejch: These findings across species bring me back to #foodjustice in the South. Where does food come from, and commercially processed? 10mil lb per yr #wildgame per yr vs 3mil lb that is commercially processed. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
JHall: Intertribal Buffalo Council @ITBCBuffNation look at how to distribute/return "surplus" buffalo population at #Yellowstone to tribal lands --> this renarrates the story of people-land-animals and the meaning of the landscape. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
JHall: Then we must account for nation-state borders, and how condors must cross these to reach Mexican efforts to restore the population. What if, like #buffalo, they tell a story of the landscape? @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
JHall: Which leads me to ask: Who owns condors? Settler colonialism / settler conservation have driven #condor to pt of extinction / restored the population >> & all relates back to the private property that condors will inhabit moreso. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
JHall: At the annual CA #condor meeting this wk in SD, wildlife mgmt teams (USF&W, etc.) now speaking w #Indigenous tribes who want to bring back condors to their lands. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
JHall: Using #critGIS, Evan MA student looked for pre-patterns of condors before their blood levels spiked with lead? Non-protected areas. And now facing worst CA wildfires in recorded history. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
JHall: In our new @WestVirginiaU Wilderness Geography Lab (#WildGeoLab), we're asking how we reconcile keeping biodiversity alive in modernity. @ukgeog #ecology #critgeog #polecol
