CANCELED Three events with Lisa Jean Moore... The Intra-actions of Bees, Beekeepers and Feminist Sociologists in New York City Thursday, February 20, 2014, 6:30pm GWS Conference Room #100, 925 N Tyndall Ave Free parking around building! (map) This talk, based on the book Buzz, situates animal/human relationships within the metropolis, illuminating how humans see and experience nonhuman creatures in the city. Urban humans tend to place rats, pigeons and roaches within the urban - as animals that have to be dealt with and contained. Through a frame of local and global ecosystems, we critically challenges binaries; urban/rural, nature/culture, human/nonhuman. The bee plays a critical role in the local ecology of NYC, and as we argue, it is an animal that we must become more aware of, not only for the sake of our diets, but as a key agent in the bio-system. This presentation be especially inspiring to sociology and animal studies students who are poised to push and explore radical, reflexive ethnographic research that strives to articulate the intersections between the human and nonhuman actor.
