Series Summary
Pastoralists face the dual challenge of a rapidly changing climate and the transformative potential of global capitalism. In this series, we check in with interdisciplinary scholars who are working with pastoralists from around the world in diverse political, economic, and cultural settings to assess current challenges and the future viability of these complex livelihoods.

Episode 2
In this episode, our co-hosts engage prominent senior anthropologists and globally recognized experts in pastoralism, Drs. Dawn Chatty and Peter Little, in a long range discussion of how pastoralists have both impacted and been impacted by globalizing processes. In this panel, the hosts and our guests discuss global commodity markets, conservation, state-making, and an array of other pressures and forces impacting the livelihoods of pastoralists around the world. They also consider the future of pastoralism and the relevance of pastoral research for economic anthropology.
