University of Washington Associate Professor Radhika Govindrajan presents "Spectral Justice: Multispecies Haunting and Accountability in Himalayan India," which will explore the topics in her book Animal Intimacies: Interspecies Relatedness in India's Central Himalayas (University of Chicago Press, 2018).
Radhika Govindrajan is a cultural anthropologist who works across the fields of multispecies ethnography, environmental anthropology, the anthropology of religion, South Asian Studies, and political anthropology. Her research is motivated by a longstanding interest in understanding how human relationships with nonhumans in South Asia are variously drawn into and shape broader issues of cultural, political, and social relevance: religious nationalism; elite projects of environmental conservation and animal-rights; everyday ethical action in a time of environmental decline; and people’s struggle for social and political justice in the face of caste discrimination, patriarchal domination, and state violence and neglect.
