Doctoral Dissertation Research: The politics of land and conservation in Rio de Janeiro, BrazilAbstract Conservation has never been an innocent endeavor. Rather, the decision to preserve and protect flora, fauna, and ecosystems emerges from socially specific systems of valuation. Historically, intervention into the natural world has occurred often as part of colonial and imperial agendas; Brazil in particular has long connoted "the natural" in Western philosophy. Yet this romantic vision does not do justice to Brazilian understandings of nature, its protection, and the modern scientific techniques that make this possible. This investigation is organized around the efforts to save the Golden Lion Tamarin (GLT), which is the focus of one of conservation's rare success stories and is also a potent symbol of both the extraordinary and the everyday. The project aims to understand how conservation professionals, states and NGOs can develop integrated agendas that treat conservation not as a state of emergency but as a continuing condition for the safeguarding of life and the promulgation of social justice. This research project will address the intersection between land rights, visions of social justice, and conservation politics in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in the State of Rio de Janeiro's lowland coastal region. Methods include in-depth ethnographic work among small agricultural communities that border the GLT reserve, life histories of former members of land-based social justice movements, participant observation among the scientists and educators of the Golden Lion Tamarin Association (AMLD) and archival work on land claims and agricultural history in the region. The researcher has developed a plan to disseminate data and conclusions with people at the field site as well as to a wider scientific community. This plan relies on use of existing educational institutions and community radio stations in Brazil as well as more standard networks of scientific professionals in Brazil and throughout the world. Ii order to be accessible to small farming communities, the researcher will work with a community-run radio station to develop a brief, Portuguese language segment descrbing results of the project, as well as allowing community respone. The project's results are expected to inform social and political processes around the world.

博士论文研究：巴西里约热内卢的土地政治和保护摘要保护从来就不是一项无害的努力。相反，保存和保护动植物和生态系统的决定源于特定社会的评估系统。从历史上看，对自然世界的干预经常作为殖民和帝国议程的一部分发生。尤其是巴西，长期以来在西方哲学中一直意味着“自然”。然而，这种浪漫的愿景并没有公正地体现巴西人对自然、自然保护以及使之成为可能的现代科学技术的理解。这项调查是围绕拯救金狮狨猴 (GLT) 的努力展开的，金狮狨猴是保护工作中罕见的成功案例之一，也是非凡和日常生活的有力象征。该项目旨在了解保护专业人员、国家和非政府组织如何制定综合议程，将保护视为保护生命和传播社会正义的持续条件，而不是紧急状态。 该研究项目将探讨里约热内卢州低地沿海地区巴西大西洋森林的土地权、社会正义愿景和保护政治之间的交叉点。方法包括在 GLT 保护区边界的小型农业社区中进行深入的人种学工作、前土地社会正义运动成员的生活史、金狮狨协会 (AMLD) 的科学家和教育工作者的参与观察以及关于该地区的土地所有权和农业历史。 研究人员制定了一项计划，向现场人员以及更广泛的科学界传播数据和结论。该计划依赖于利用巴西现有的教育机构和社区广播电台以及巴西和世界各地更标准的科学专业人员网络。为了让小型农业社区能够参与其中，研究人员将与社区运营的广播电台合作，制作一个简短的葡萄牙语片段，描述该项目的结果，并允许社区做出回应。 该项目的结果预计将为世界各地的社会和政治进程提供信息。
