TALK SUMMARY: Sharks have been on Earth for over 400 million years and have survived five mass extinctions. But, in the last century, they seem to have met the one thing they can’t survive: us. The problem is, we humans are about as complicated as it gets, meaning we’re going to need all the tools in the toolbox if we are to save sharks – and the rest of wildlife on earth – from extinction. 

In this talk, marine social scientist Dr. Isla Hodgson discusses how we can adapt tools and techniques from the social and political sciences, including those deployed in war zones, to help understand our own species for the betterment of conservation. And she shares insights from her work in Scotland, where she has been researching conflicts between fishermen and shark conservation. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about the sharks.
