Eben Kirksey, a cultural anthropologist at the University of New South Wales, Australia, studies the political dimensions of imagination as well as the interplay of natural and cultural history. His first book, Freedom in Entangled Worlds (2012), is about an indigenous political movement in West Papua, the half of New Guinea under Indonesian control. As a guest co-editor of Cultural Anthropology he assembled a collection of original research articles from the emerging field of ‘multispecies ethnography’ (2010). His second book, an edited collection called The Multispecies Salon: Gleanings from a Para-site, is forthcoming from Duke University Press.
