Tilapia and Travel in the Making of Today's Indo-Pacific

November 9, 4:30pm - 5:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Tokioka Room (Moore 319) Add to Calendar

This talk follows fish in a way that opens up a new kind of intersection for the environmental humanities, Asian Studies, and transregional histories. In particular, it thinks with the travels of the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus Peters, 1852) in the period between the 1930s and 1960s to show (and explain why) this fish's movements were central to the making of today's Indo-Pacific.
