Ashton Wesner serves as a Lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, with active faculty status confirmed through institutional contact channels. Their scholarly work operates at the intersection of natural and social sciences, critically examining power structures in knowledge production and territorial governance. Research focuses on Political Ecology, Territoriality and Property, and Queer Feminist Studies, with significant contributions to decolonizing methodologies. Wesner investigates how animal behavior frameworks intersect with social theory, challenges settler colonial narratives through sonic geography, and advocates for community-driven research models that disrupt traditional academic hierarchies. Their scholarship consistently bridges disciplinary divides to address systemic inequities in scientific practice. Publication analysis (2014-2020) reveals three dominant trajectories: territorial contestation in human-animal systems, queer feminist interventions in scientific epistemology, and institutional frameworks for equitable knowledge co-production. The work demonstrates increasing methodological sophistication in sonographic visualization and community-university partnerships, with recurring emphasis on California's political ecology and Indigenous land relations.
