The environmental and climatic crises of our time are fundamentally multispecies crises, and the Anthropocene, a time of "human-made" disruptions on a planetary scale, is a disruption of the fabric of life as a whole. The contributors to "Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene" argue that understanding the multispecies nature of these disruptions requires multispecies methods. Answering methodological challenges posed by the Anthropocene, "Rubber Boots Methods for the Anthropocene" retools the empirical study of the socioecological chaos of the contemporary moment across the arts, human science, and natural science. Based on critical landscape history, multispecies curiosity, and collaboration across disciplines and knowledge systems, the volume presents thirteen transdisciplinary accounts of practical methodological experimentation, highlighting diverse settings ranging from the High Arctic to the deserts of southern Africa and from the pampas of Argentina to the coral reefs of the Western Pacific, always insisting on the importance of firsthand, "rubber boots" immersion in the field.
The methodological companion to "Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the Anthropocene" (Minnesota, 2017), this collection puts forth empirical studies of the multispecies messiness of contemporary life that investigate some of the critical questions of our time.
