More About Paul Robert Wolf Wilson -
Paul Robert Wolf Wilson is a photographer, cinematographer, previous Chief Storyteller at Rios to Rivers, LEAD Ambassador for the Northwest River Suppliers, and expedition athlete. As a Klamath and Modoc photographer, he focuses his lens on the effects of the climate crisis on frontline indigenous communities and the lands and waters they have stewarded. After his first river trip on the Rio Baker in Patagonia, Paul and his sister started the Maqlaqs Paddle Club in Chiloquin, Oregon, to get more tribal youth onto our ancestral rivers in kayaks, he uses his storytelling and recreational platforms to rally public education and support around river stewardship- taking this struggle from local conversations all the way up to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change. If he’s not on the river or at his desk, you can probably find him off-trail, struggle-busing with a backpack full of camera gear.

Kristin Yarris, an associate professor of Global Studies and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, will discuss her edited volume Accompaniment with Im/migrant Communities: Engaged Ethnography.
This collection brings together the experiences and voices of anthropologists whose engaged work with im/migrant communities pushes the boundaries of ethnography toward a feminist, care-based, decolonial mode of ethnographic engagement called “accompaniment.”
Accompaniment as anthropological research and praxis troubles the boundaries of researcher-participant, scholar-activist, and academic-community to explicitly address issues of power, inequality, and the broader social purpose of the work. More than two dozen contributors show how accompaniment is not merely a mode of knowledge production but an ethical commitment that calls researchers to action in solidarity with those whose lives we seek to understand. The volume stands as a collective conversation about possibilities for caring and decolonial forms of ethnographic engagement with im/migrant communities.
Presented by the Oregon Humanities Center.
