Session call:
"[The] subjects are cyborg, nature is coyote, and the geography is
elsewhere."
-- Donna Haraway
Donna Haraway's contribution to the theorization of feminist,
post-structural and radical geographies has been immense, and critical
scholars working across the spectrum have drawn on her work as part of
larger projects rethinking the epistemological and ontological
foundations of modern geography. The purpose of this session is to
bring together a diverse field of geographers who are currently
engaging with Haraway's work. We hope to foster this conference space
in order to share research and to grapple with the possibilities and
limitations of Harawayian thought as it has and continues to open up
new spaces across the discipline -- both theoretically and
practically. To that end we welcome panelists that engage with any
aspect of Haraway's work, and encourage participation from a wide
variety of geographic sub-fields, including, but not limited to:
anti-essentialist feminist research praxis, cyborg politics,
relational ontologies, hybrid epistemologies, impure landscapes,
god-trickery, inappropriate/d others, companion species, and
human/techno-bio-nature-science relationships.
