Listen Later

In this episode, our co-hosts take a deep dive into each other’s research on a broad range of contemporary political and economic changes in Mongolian pastoral lifeways. In particular, they explore:

  1. the changing nature of work, gender, and household organization;
  2. the impact of social and economic policy on herd management;
  3. the connections between the Covid 19 pandemic and the rise of social media;
  4. the changing value and meaning of livestock; and
  5. the rise of a rights-based discourse in global conversations about pastoralism.

    About this series: Taking the Pulse of Pastoralism in the 21st Century

    Pastoralists face the dual challenge of a rapidly changing climate and the transformative potential of global capitalism. In this series, we check in with interdisciplinary scholars who are working with pastoralists from around the world in diverse political, economic, and cultural settings to assess current challenges and the future viability of these complex livelihoods.
