SUMMARY:SEMINAR - Adapting before it gets here: Forest Pests\, Basketmaking\, and Sustainability Science
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER: Darren Ranco\, Chair\, Native American Programs\, Associate Professor\, Dept. of Anthropology & Senator George J. Mitchell Center \n*See below a list of suggested readings to accompany this seminar. \nThe theme of adaptation to rapid environmental change dominates academic language and funding. In this talk\, I will explore the challenges/opportunities in our work with basketmakers and resource gatherers attempting to adapt to the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)\, which is not yet in Maine. I am also interested in thinking about how to measure indicators of sustainability when there are no clear solutions to a threat that we cannot stop\, but only (potentially) slow it down. \nDarren J. Ranco\, citizen/member of the Penobscot Nation\, is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Chair of Native American Programs at the University of Maine. Since 2009\, he has been the project leader of the Brown Ash/Emerald Ash Borer project in the Mitchell Center. He has a Masters of Studies in Environmental Law from Vermont Law School and a PhD in Social Anthropology from Harvard University. Dr. Ranco’s research focuses on Wabanaki protection of cultural and natural resources. He teaches classes on indigenous intellectual property rights\, research ethics\, environmental justice and tribal governance.
