Bug Out! David Davies's Sabbatical Examines People and Pests
鶹ƵAPK anthropology professor David Davies doesn’t especially like bugs or rodents. But, they’re an active part of the human world and vital to understanding a key aspect of his research. Davies is now nearing the end of a year-long sabbatical which has given him time to do field research exploring the relationship between people and, as he likes to describe pests: “the creatures that really want to be around us.”
