Creating Distance or Proximity?: How Wild Lives Are Told through Remote Camera Viewing

Elizabeth Vander Meer has a PhD in Environmental Policy and Ethics from Lancaster University, an Anthrozoology MA from the University of Exeter, and is now in the second year of a PhD in Anthrozoology at Exeter. Her research is multidisciplinary, drawing on anthropology, compassionate conservation, performance studies, philosophy, and social theory. She combines interests in biodiversity conservation with human-animal studies, conducting multispecies ethnographic studies that focus on human–wildlife conflict and co-existence and captive wild animals in circuses, rescue centres and zoos.
