I'm Dr. Adam Johnson, an environmental anthropologist. My work engages human-animal relations. I am interested in how humans and wild animals find ways to get along. The focus of my research are the moments of encounter between humans and wild animals. My current project explores human-javelina relations in Texas, including affective relationships between javelinas and property owners, tourist-javelina encounters at Big Bend National Park, and the intimacy and care that pairs with violence in hunting. I'm also interested in Science and Technology Studies, sexuality and gender, and primate behavior and ecology. View all posts by Anthropology365
