Multispecies Ethnography
Multispecies ethnography is an approach that aims to consider the agency of nonhuman life forms and their social, historical, and ecological connectivity with human life. Extending the ethnographic gaze, it explores the ways other life forms are implicated with human lives, landscapes, and technologies, whether terrestrial, airborne, aquatic, or microscopic. This challenges the humanist epistemology upon which ethnography traditionally depends, w…
Elephants as persons, affective apprenticeship, and fieldwork with nonhuman informants in Nepal
In this account of interspecies intimacy in the enclaved institution of the Nepali elephant stable, I explore not-just-human figurations of personhood and argue for the methodological inclusion of nonhuman informants as subjective actors and contributing participants in ethnographic research. I explain how my experience forming a trusting, working relationship with a female elephant in a hybrid community of humans and elephants revealed the conce…
Conflict, Negotiation, and Coexistence: Rethinking Human–Elephant Relations in South Asia
The interconnected lives of humans and elephants have shaped landscapes, determined the destinies of empires, and stimulated new kinds of knowledge, skill, and practice. Their encounters have also produced intimate forms of companionship, as well as conflict over space and resources.

Explorations in Ethnoelephantology: Social, Historical, and Ecological Intersections between Asian Elephants and Humans

The intersections between these thinking and feeling species have been differently explored, for different reasons, by disciplines across the sciences, humanities, and social sciences. Such disciplinary divisions, predicated on oppositions of human-animal and nature-culture, are integral to the configuration of modernist thought. However, posthumanis…
