Join us on March 4, 2025 from 3:30 - 5 PM in Davenport Hall 230 for a talk by Dr. Amanda Daniela Cortez! Dr. Cortez is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Center for Indigenous Science. Trained as a cultural anthropologist, Amanda’s work sits at the intersection of Indigenous studies, animal studies, and anthropology to address questions of Indigenous sovereignty and human-other animal relationships. Her current book project is an ethnography of the politics of Indigeneity, gender, and multispecies relating in Cusco, Peru’s photography tourism industry. The book centers the lives of Quechua women and animals as they confront and refuse state-sanctioned violence while working in cultural tourism.
