Her current monograph project examines the transnational life of oysters, where ecological emergencies, alterations, and disruptions unfold across inter- and intra-species metabolic dynamics. Yoshida teaches environmental anthropology, adopting interdisciplinary approaches such as commodity chain analysis, feminist science and technology studies (STS), blue humanities, and multispecies ethnography. |
