Anima is a very new project. We are excited to share what is planned for the coming months, but please be advised that this (beta) version of the website (and its prototypal, open-source GIS atlas), is still in development and refinement. With questions about the collaborative NiCHE series, “Animal Encounters,” please follow instructions on our CFP. To discuss the project, or with questions about community involvement and contribution later down the line, please feel free to reach out and I will get back to you as soon as I can:

Thank you for your patience and interest in our project.

Team

  • Caroline Abbott

    Project Director

    Caroline Abbott (she/her) is an environmental historian. She is a member of the editorial team at the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE) holds an M.Res. from the University of Glasgow. Anima was first presented at the American Society for Environmental History (ASEH)’s 2024 conference in Denver, Colorado during the roundtable “Animal Encounters in the Archive,” co-organized by Caroline Abbott and Prof. Heather Green. She hopes the project can serve the community in the interest of giving animal microhistories and the lives they represent a way back home (and so far, she doesn’t hate code).

    Caroline would like to note that this project is already a site made possible through community care. In particular, she would like to thank Sean Cox, Dr. Isabelle Gapp, Javier Gonzalez Cortes Prof. Jack Bouchard, Dr. Jessica DeWitt, Prof. Heather Green, and Prof. Nathanial Cooper, for their roles in making this project possible.

  • More Project Members Soon to be Announced
