Show Notes
For the first episode of Foraging, we hosted Prof. Diogo de Carvhalo Cabral, of Trinity College Dublin. Diogo is a fascinating voice in more-than-human history. His groundbreaking research on the relations between leaf-cutting ants and human communities in 19th century Brazilian Atlantic Forest opened new avenues in multispecies history. Recently, Diogo has co-edited the excellent volume More-than-Humain Histories of Latin America and the Caribbean, published by the University of London Press. We talked about this recent publication, his encounter with environmental history and more-than-human approaches, as well as the new frontiers of environmental humanities.
