She is the author of Animal Intimacies: Interspecies Relatedness in India’s Central Himalayas published by the University of Chicago Press in 2018.

Since the early 20th century\, piles of mine waste have defined Johannesburg’s topography. Today\, corporations and individuals continually revisit these piles – at very different scales – in the eternal hope of extracting further value. Particles from these mine wastes seep into water supplies\, infiltrating bodies with heavy metals\, solvents\, and radioactive particles. Violence results from entanglements between human\, corporate\, geological\, (post)colonial\, and chemical time. New sacrificial topographies emerge continually\, as the “new South Africa” demands that some people give up immediate personal aspirations for the sake of the collective good\, engaging in its own forced relocations in the name of development\, moving people onto valueless land – excess earth\, contaminated by radioactive debris\, chemicals\, and heavy metals. \n  \nEvent Photos:\nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr.

This conference positions landscapes as fertile ground from which to explore the politics of dirt and other matters out of place. Moving away from engagements with landscape as inert background or pristine setting\, we consider perspectives on dynamic\, dirty landscapes produced by dislocations and emplacements\, abandonment and occupation\, or human and more-than-human movements. \nMatters Out of Place capture the anthropological imagination because they draw attention to the ways social orders are maintained\, destabilized and transformed. They are not simply boundary-making sources of cognitive dissonance\, as Mary Douglas’ maxim implies\, but material presences and absences that lead to unexpected forms of flourishing. This conference puts forth a dirty kind of anthropology\, one that works the boundaries of social orders as well as the boundaries of anthropology itself. \nFor the complete schedule\, please visit: http://ucscanthro.tumblr.com/schedule.
