Alumna Shiho Satsuka Announces New Publication "Nature in Translation"
02.07.2015
Alumni Carson Fellow Shiho Satsuka's book Nature in Translation has recently been published by Duke University Press, a nonprofit scholarly publisher.
Nature in Translation is an ethnographic exploration in the cultural politics of the translation of knowledge about nature. Shiho Satsuka follows the Japanese tour guides who lead hikes, nature walks, and sightseeing bus tours for Japanese tourists in Canada's Banff National Park and illustrates how they aspired to become local "nature interpreters" by learning the ecological knowledge authorized by the National Park.
The book's introduction is available to read here.
