Our Mission:

Local knowledge provides both the conceptual and practical backbone to field primatology. Yet, the voices of local researchers in primatology are surprisingly quiet. Largely, this is due to an academic culture that privileges mainstream scientific knowledge over others, which manifests itself in the form of institutional biases that exclude local voices from mainstream discourse. Perspectives aims to provide a venue for the voice of local knowledge to be heard. Perspectives is a free-format multi-media journal for local knowledge in primatology that allows local researchers and field staff to say what they want to say, how they want to say it. Our aim is to work towards making primatology more socially equitable through social and epistemological inclusivity.
