“Red Natural History and the New Red Scare,” a roundtable on the conditions for activist research under the new “Red Scare.” Exploring the histories of state repression that led to the current crisis, the stakes for the Trump Administration, and the strategies people are developing to resist the current crackdown on dissident research and action, speakers reflect on the implications for their own institutions, disciplines, and practices, the histories and traditions we can learn from, and the resources we need—not just to survive this moment, but to shape what comes next.
