Sarah Robinson

Conversation just now with Sarah about her research in the fishing industry. She works in Gloucester on legal anthropology and law issues related to fishing. Recommended a small article in the book To work and to weep: women in fishing economies, edited by Jane Nadel-Klein and Dona Lee Davis on fishermen’s wives association on safety and religious discourses. She agrees that safety in the fishing industry would be lively topic, that there would be lots on rituals and superstitions. We decided the comparison between fishing and trucking might be an interesting and logical one, and she noted that it is also am emic one with the fishing industry, that people move back and forth and see the two domains and related.
