Finn Slough, originally settled by Finnish fishermen east of Steveston, has a history tied closely to the land and the fishing industry. The community’s deep connection to the marsh's natural geography shaped their lives and livelihood. Later residents embraced
the ecological harmony of the site, fostering a commitment to preserving the landscape. Despite threats of eviction and climate change, the community continues to honor its heritage and maintain its ties to the land. Join Guy Taylor, 2023/2024 winner of the
Robert Lemon Heritage Studies Prize, and explore the history of the site, the concept of cultural heritage landscapes (CHLs), and how we may better understand the Finn Slough site through the lens of a CHL.</div>

This talk invites you on a journey through speculative anthropology to a future where Vancouver has recovered from a seismic disaster. Dr. Jonathan Eaton will address key questions such as: What would transpire if the "Big One" were to strike Vancouver tomorrow?
What principles would guide the rebuilding efforts in the ensuing months? What aspects of the city would we strive to preserve? How might Vancouver transform in the aftermath? In the process, we will learn about the ways that heritage is threatened by disasters
and how preserving and celebrating heritage can be woven into Vancouver’s recovery, even before disaster strikes.</div>

<u>About the Speaker</u>: Dr. Jonathan Eaton is a socio-cultural anthropologist with a focus on heritage, the anthropology of space and place, and the anthropology of disasters. His ethnographic fieldwork in Vancouver explores how a bit of care and cultivation
of place can help people preserve what they value in the face of approaching climate catastrophe and the unpredictability of earthquakes in this region. Jonathan holds a PhD in Anthropology from the University of British Columbia, an MA in Anthropology from
the University of Toronto, and a BA in History from Valparaiso University. He is currently serving as Executive Director of the UBC Disaster Resilience Research Network, a transdisciplinary group of researchers committed to inclusive and equitable disaster
research.</div>
