OnlineFirst - "Brazilian concentration camps for drought refugees 1915/1932" by Laura Belik: #camps #drought #climaterefugee #Brazil #SouthAmerica journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

🌱 New paper out! In this article I introduce “expulsion by suffocation,” showing how glyphosate-driven soybean plantations in the Amazon quietly but profoundly unsettle ecologies, livelihoods, and futures. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

📚 Thrilled to share that I’ve signed a contract with University of California Press!! My upcoming book explores the political ecologies of deforestation, practices of resistance and care, and planetary health in the Amazon, with a focus on the Tapajós region.

🚨 Nova publicação — “Carbofascismo” Feliz em compartilhar que meu novo ensaio acaba de sair na Serrote #50. Nele, proponho pensar como regimes autoritários fazem da queima intensa de carbono, da destruição ambiental e do negacionismo climático pilares de ofensivas contra a ordem democrática-liberal

Na próxima segunda-feira vou apresentar no Hospital Universitário da USP um pouco sobre meu trabalho investigando o uso de agrotóxicos na Amazônia, e do que venho chamando de "expulsão por asfixia". Para quem não puder estar presente, aqui o link da apresentação online: meet.google.com/yic-viiq-qtd

DOM E BRUNO | São três anos desde o assassinato do jornalista Dom Philips e do indigenista Bruno Pereira. Em janeiro, a antropóloga e viúva de Bruno, Beatriz Matos, refletiu sobre a violência histórica enfrentada na região em episódio especial da série Morte e Vida Javari, da Pública. Veja:

"Sex Is a Spectrum will be important for introducing a wide readership to the nuances of scientific understandings of variability in sex and of the biocultural constitution of humans, and I believe that there is much for biologists to appreciate in the book as well." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Brazil’s plans to build ports and roads to help move grains, beef and iron ore from the rainforest echo a development vision that dates back to the military dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s. @fabiozuker.bsky.social for @mongabay.bsky.social news.mongabay.com/2025/03/braz...

I'm happy to share that, together with my brilliant colleague Jessica Ferreira Cardoso, we've just published a review of Vincanne Adams's book "Glyphosate and the Swirl" revistas.usp.br/ra/article/v...

I'm glad to have concluded this week teaching an online class at Cornell University, "Indigenous Ecologies Confronting Amazon Deforestation", reflecting on deforestation driven by soy expansion and intensive agrochemical use, and how Indigenous ecologies navigate and resist these challenges

Looking for recommendations: Does anyone know of a good article that synthesizes the policies and violence of the Brazilian military dictatorship toward Indigenous groups? I'm particularly interested in what we call in Portuguese "política assimilacionista"

Just noticed this coincidence: Feb 16 is Reporter’s Day in Brazil, and Feb 17 is International Whale Day. I’m most proud of this story—the whale that appeared in the Amazon. It became a book, with a dream review in Los Angeles Review of Books and coverage in The New York Times. bit.ly/4hZ0Po6

Last year, our collagen investigation, published in The Guardian, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, and O Joio e o Trigo, won a Covering Climate Now award. Don't miss the opportunity to apply!

Terça que vem, terei a honra de conversar nesse evento on-line da Universidade de Coimbra com o Renzo Taddei sobre a minha pesquisa no Baixo Tapajós. Agradeço a Karen Shiratori pelo convite eco.ces.uc.pt/financeiriza...

I am happy to share that Revista Mana has just published my article, in English and Portuguese: Destroying the territory, weakening the body: an essay on food, illness and quebranto among the Tupinambá of Lower Tapajós in Northern Brazil www.scielo.br/j/mana/a/wwp... www.scielo.br/j/mana/a/wwp...

Okay folks, I also compiled a list of environmental / multispecies anthropologists. #EnviroAnthro #AnthroSky #Anthropology It's VERY incomplete, so please let me know who I missed, or if you'd like to be added. [Or, of course, if you'd like to be removed from this list.] go.bsky.app/Hax2cvh

In just under a week since its publication in Science, our article has already surpassed 5,000 downloads! 🎉 This milestone underscores the growing recognition of the urgent need to indigenize conservation practices. 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #Conservation #IndigenousKnowledge #GlobalEcology

New article in Science argues that ancient ecosystem and multispecies expertise could lead to a new, integrated conservation science in the Amazon and beyond. @brazil_lab @PrincetonEnviro environment.princeton.edu/news/how-ind...

Happy to share that we're publishing in at Science this article, fruit of two years of work between Indigenous and non-Indigenous scientists on how to indigenize conservation in the Amazon. A direct result of my time at Princeton, alongside the brillant co-authors. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This Thursday, I will present my paper "Expulsion by Suffocation" during a workshop at the Médialab, Sciences Po, alongside my colleague and friend Ana Laura Malmaceda. If you're in Paris and interested in joining, feel free to reach out

We have significant evidence of the atrocities on 10/7 and significant evidence that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Both are true but only one is continuing

Foi muito bom participar da II Jornada do Pensamento Social e Político Brasileiro da UFSC, ao lado de colegas tão brilhantes. Trouxe um pouco da minha pesquisa sobre a ecologia política da extrema-direita no Arco do Desmatamento. Em breve, vai virar um artigo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zBr...

This NYT piece is a masterclass in journalism. It brings anthropological reflections on war and diseases, delving into how war—particularly in the Middle East, with a focus on Gaza—is fostering the perfect conditions for drug-resistant bacterial and fungal infections www.nytimes.com/2024/11/26/m...

In 2022, my book found its way into the world. 🌿🐋 This book is not just about a whale; it reflects the intersections of ecology, history, and human lives in the Amazon, where stories of life are deeply intertwined with nature. #EnvironmentalStorytelling #NatureWriting bit.ly/4g2rRdf
