Quantum Entanglements and Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy: Looking Back on 50 Years of Critical Indigenous Scholarship on Science, Philosophy, and Fish in Canada and the USA
This talk will explore the trajectories that guide Zoe Todd's team, 'Critical Indigenous Fish Philosophy', starting with the fish
philosophers that inform their current work. Their late
stepfather Wayne Roberts was a Red River Métis scientist who
passionately defended fish, amphibians, and all manner of creatures in
his career in Alberta; this ignited Todd's passion for fish science. Todd will also share how the work of founders of the discipline
of Indigenous Studies, including Vine Deloria Jr and Leroy Little Bear,
among others, shape their current thinking about fish, sovereignty and efforts to build an anti-imperialist prairie fish science in their
homelands.
