Negotiating the Gaze: People, Power and Conservation Surveillance in the Corbett Tiger Reserve, India

G21 Ramsay LT, Christopher Ingold Building

<p>Based on 14 months of Ethnographic fieldwork in India, this talk will reveal the social and political implications of using conservation surveillance technologies. Trishant argues that technologies like camera traps, drones and thermal cameras are deployed for ecological monitoring however they seamlessly become tools of surveillance by the state. These technologies exacerbate already prevalent social injustices and structural inequalities of gender, caste and class.</p><p></p>
