Over 60 percent of this population is found in India, making the country critical to the species’ long-term survival. Indian elephant populations face significant threats, including habitat fragmentation, human-wildlife conflict, and the ongoing demand for elephants in captivity. Wildlife SOS is working to both improve the welfare of captive elephants as well as implementing creative strategies to protect them in the wild. Kartick Satyanarayan, a leading expert in this field, will share his insights and firsthand experiences in rescuing and safeguarding India's elephants. Kartick Satyanarayan, Co-Founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS is known for his efforts to resolve the illegal practice of "dancing" bears in India. He is focused on tackling wildlife conservation issues through biodiversity conservation, protecting habitat and creating conservation and education programs to mitigate human-wildlife conflict in India. In 1995, he founded the charity Wildlife SOS India (wildlifesos.org) with Geeta Seshamani that runs several projects to support wildlife conservation in India including the largest rehabilitation center in the world for Sloth bears and the first ever Elephant Hospital in India. Wildlife SOS works with indigenous communities and in partnership with the Indian Government to tackle the increasing human-wildlife conflict through awareness. Kartick is an Honorary Wildlife Warden of Delhi, member of the state wildlife advisory board, Govt. of Uttar Pradesh, Member - Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, Member - Central Zoo Authority, and Member of the Leopard Conflict committee of the National Tiger Conservation Authority of India.  He is a recipient of the San Diego Zoo Global Conservation Medal for “Conservation in Action” (2018) and has been felicitated with the Maharana Udai Singh Award, 2019, for conservation, and community rehabilitation work.

In this talk, Lara Deeb will introduce her new book, Love Across Difference: Mixed Marriage in Lebanon. Through mixed couples’ stories and the innovative ways many of them think about social difference and confront patriarchy, Deeb highlights the role of family and close social relationships in reproducing sectarianism and explores its impact on people at the personal level, outside the formal realms of law and politics. Lara Deeb is Laura Vausbinder Hockett Endowed Chair, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology and the Program in MENA Studies at Scripps College. In addition to numerous articles and chapters, Deeb is the author or co-author of four books.

The Delta Smelt is an endangered fish found only in the heart of California’s water distribution system. Legal protections of the species have contributed to the curtailment of water delivered to farms and cities. Rocketing onto the national political stage, it was dubbed a “stupid little fish” on the floor of the United States House and was falsely blamed for Los Angeles’ disastrous wildfires by President Trump. Following the fish from California’s water wars to America’s culture wars and back again, this project considers how thorny environmental problems emerge when attempts to control and define nature overflow into other domains of social life, and why they often only seem to multiply with every attempt to resolve them. Caleb Scoville is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Tufts University and a recipient of an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) fellowship. His research centers on the politics of environmental knowledge and the dynamics of environmental controversies. Caleb’s published work has appeared in the American Journal of Sociology, Science, and Theory and Society, among other venues. His book project on the case of the Delta Smelt is under advance contract with Columbia University Press. This event is open to the entire Tufts Community. For questions contact humanities@tufts.edu.
