Kymberley Chu, third-year Anthropology graduate student, recently published her article entitled, "Seeing One Animal, Two Beings" in Anthropology Now. Seeing One Animal, Two Beings narrates how citizen scientists and urban residents come together in reframing the conservationist method of deterrence as a continuum of care—yielding another chance to transcend narrative frames of conflict and dominance. Narrating a series of ethnographic vignettes, she wrote on how conservationists differentially experienced shifting monkey ecologies in urban landscapes. Inspired by Radhika Govindrajan’s notion of relatedness, the essay showcases how conservationists, urban residents, and others have the potential to generate nuanced interpretations of human-monkey interactions, addressing them as a spectrum of power dynamics differentially experienced in diverse environments.
