We are writing to share an opportunity to collaborate with an interdisciplinary FHI working group committed to unearthing the interrelated ecological and human archives of Duke Forest. A team of scientists and humanities scholars, we plan to create a public outdoors exhibit located near Duke Campus Farm that presents the ways in which the ecological history of Duke Forest is embedded within the human history of plantation agriculture. We hope to explore the broader historical conditions through which research at Duke Forest is rendered possible. In doing so, our exhibit hopes to highlight those peoples that have been displaced, removed, or expunged from Duke Forest’s archive. We assert that their relationship to scientific inquiry in Duke Forest must be held central and cannot be erased.
