Hugo Reinert is a senior researcher and occasional lecturer at Tallinn University, Estonia. His research to date spans a number of fields in environmental and nonhuman anthropology—including projects on reindeer pastoralism, environmental volunteering, climate policy, land-use conflicts, and transnational bird conservation. He is particularly interested in the potential of anthropology to critically rework inherited vocabularies and develop novel modes of description. His current project explores the emergence of sacrifice zones in the European Arctic, focusing on the intensification of prospective mining activity in indigenous areas of the region. The project uses sacrifice as a theoretical lens to explore notions of value, damage, loss, and obligation across a set of complex, multiply constituted, and highly contested landscapes.
