ABSTRACT

Ubiquitous in their global presence, crows can be found almost everywhere that people are: from abundant urban species finding new ways to exploit dense and changing cities like Tokyo, to critically endangered island crows just hanging on in the forests of Rota in the Mariana Islands. Across the globe, crows offer a diverse range of instructive sites for exploring the challenges and the possibilities of living well in a more-than-human world. This chapter sketches one version of what field philosophy might look like, and outlines some of the questions and challenges that such an approach might raise, both for the discipline and for thinking and researching more generally.
