Just got an ORCID notification. My and @carolineabbott.bsky.social's chapter, "On Choosing the Bear" will be out soon! It is part of the Feminist Digital Methods collection ( @routledgebooks.bsky.social), edited by Aparajita Bhandari and Sarah York-Bertram - www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...

Abstract: "Framing archives as sites of gendered kinship and dialogue between human and non-human actors, this chapter reimagines a question that has shaped the non-humanity of digital feminist discourse since going viral in 2024: “Would you rather be in the archive alone with a man or a Bear?” Foregrounding its considerations of how the anthropocentric narrative structures inherent to historical archival paradigms continue to limit dialogue between human and nonhuman agencies in their digital evolutions, it argues that digital tools mobilized to reimagine historiographic relationships to story can be made to listen. Thinking with critical fabulation, it discusses how the development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) ontology designed to reframe these narratives by instead casting the agency of historical animals at their center became attuned to multispecies dialogue within fragmentary data by situating the land relationships of individual animal actors in geographic context, ultimately, privileging the agency of broader, multispecies networks and collective community trajectories. Tracking a Grizzly matriarch and one of her cubs through a data set of nineteenth-century newspaper articles, it demonstrates how GIS deployments informed by feminist theory can relate the interdependence of agency and microhistory and illuminate archival ontologies as sites of both being and bracket."
