Elana Shever will give a sneak peek into her forthcoming book, Making Our Beasts: Paleontology in the United States. The book is an ethnography of science-in-action that uses a familiar topic—dinosaurs—to lead readers to understand science and its objects in new ways. Through fieldwork and interviews conducted at laboratories, dig sites, museums, and entertainment sites, the book shows how the practices of scientists and the materiality of fossils together shape the social world and also are shaped by it. It further reveals how paleontology continues to be structured by race, gender, and colonialism.Lunch will be provided.The next talk in the Division of Social Sciences Fall 2025 Luncheon Seminar Series is on Oct. 30th for an immigration faculty panel discussion with Teo Ballvé, PCON/GEOG; Sally Bonet, EDUC; Chandra Russo, SOAN; and Chad Sparber, ECON.
