Please join us this Friday (April 10) for a panel on: *More-than-human geographies of COVID-19: Species, inequalities, vulnerabilities* This panel will generate a conversation across more-than-human geographies and geographies of conservation and the wildlife trade to shed light on the roots of the coronavirus, the politics of responding to it, and how it might reshape human-nonhuman relations. *Day/Time:* April 10, 2020, 9:00 - 10:15 AM (MDT) *The talk is FREE & open to the public *(you do not need to be a member of the AAG to join) *Join us at this* *link*: AAG Panel More-than-human geographies of COVID-19 <https://aag.secure-abstracts.com/AAG%20Annual%20Meeting%202020/sessions-gallery/26836> *Panelists: * - Rebecca Wong, Department of Social and Behavioural Sciences, City University of Hong Kong - Neel Ahuja, Feminist Studies Department & Critical Race and Ethnic Studies Program, UC Santa Cruz - Bruce Braun, Department of Geography, Environment and Society, University of Minnesota - Rosemary Collard, Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University - Libby Lunstrum, School of Public Service, Boise State University - Stephanie Rutherford, School of the Environment, Trent University *Questions for panelists include:* 1.

[gep-ed] Tenure Track Position in Environmental Studies at Boise State University
Hi all, We're hiring! The Environmental Studies Program at Boise State University is hiring for a tenure-track position to broaden our expertise in the *diversity of the rural Intermountain West*. Potential areas of expertise include the human dimensions of rural environmental change, rural community development, and demographic change in Idaho or regionally. We are looking for a scholar who draws upon qualitative methods such as community engagement and participatory research, possibly including indigenous epistemologies and methods, participatory GIS, or co-generation of knowledge. If an Idaho/Intermountain West-centered agenda has not yet been developed, we invite applications from scholars who can outline potential collaborations and relevant research questions. Possible research topics include climate change, population growth/change, biodiversity loss and habitat protection, agricultural or energy transitions, forest management, Indigenous sovereignty, One Health, economic inequality and exposure to toxicity, environmental justice and injustice, and/or shifts from extractive resource economies to recreation and amenity-based services. Boise State is a great place to build a research-intensive career. In addition, located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the quality of life is second-to-none. The full job ad is below.

Dear Friends, We hope you are well! We are delighted to advertise a 2-year post-doctoral position for the NSF-funded project <https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2117652&HistoricalAwards=false> Indigenous-Led Ecological Restoration: Negotiating Colonial Structures. The project seeks to understand how Indigenous Nations confront institutional and environmental legacies of colonialism to restore ecologically and culturally significant species like bison/buffalo. We seek a qualitative social scientist or social-ecological systems scientist to lead data analysis and publication and support collaborative activities with Blackfoot community and conservation partners. The project (and this postdoctoral position) will support the Iinnii Initiative and Buffalo Treaty, two Indigenous-led efforts to reintroduce bison to North America, by contributing qualitative and/or geospatial data and analysis. The postdoc will lead several publications, assist with data collection, data analysis, development of training and pedagogical materials (e.g., story maps), dissemination of findings, and mentoring several students from Blackfeet Community College. The post-doc will receive ongoing mentoring and support from the senior investigators, and the larger project will be conducted under the guidance of a Tribal advisory board. Details, including salary and application link, can be found here <https://jobs.boisestate.edu/en-us/job/496606/post-doctoral-research-scholar>. The deadline for applying is April 25, 2022.
