Arts Speaker Series: Rocks are Time-tellers: A Bad Sociology of Fossils and BC’s Burgess Shale

Rebecca Yoshizawa, Department of Sociology, Kwantlen Polytechnic University

This talk will share findings from a sociological study of paleontology, expanding the notion of what sociology can be by focusing on rocks, more specifically fossils, in order to theorize meanings of place and time and proffer new ideas for managing life on a changing planet.
