At this pivotal moment, the voices of our brilliant faculty members matter more than ever. Across campus, they are engaged in critical research and teaching, exploring complex issues, advancing knowledge, and solving global problems. This series is an opportunity for faculty to come together, to think – and talk – across disciplines and share new perspectives. We seek to foster community, connection, and collaboration. These are the kinds of conversations that move the world forward.

In the nineteenth century, moving in the Arctic often meant working with dogs. Combining archives, fieldwork, oral histories, and animal behavioral sciences, this talk examines how something as seemingly unlikely as animal emotions helped shape the contours of the British and Russian empires as they attempted to colonize what is now Alaska. In doing so, the talk makes an argument for the stakes of reading the past for new kinds of subjectivity, affect, and action—for new definitions of what and who counts as part of how history is made.
