During her fellowship year, Dr. Guerin will be finishing her manuscript “Making Zone A: Race Nature and Resilience on New York’s Most Vulnerable Shores,” which turns to environmental and labor histories, maps, law, archeology, geology, fiction, memoir, slave notices and theoretical work in Black and Indigenous studies to tell a longer story about colonial history and the racial anthropocene responsible for New York’s flood zone.
She will also establish the Liberated Planet Studio (LPS), a place to bring local creatives into dialogue with researchers about our common problematic inheritances: colonialism and climate change, while facilitating a local need for artists’ access to affordable studio space in Vancouver.
