- "The Global Heritage of Eagle Falconry and its North American Revival"
Lauren McGough - Postdoctoral Researcher, Colorado State University Pueblo.
Outside of Central Asia, North America is one of the few places where the millennia-old tradition of trapping and hunting in partnership with passage golden eagles continues. This talk aims to give an overview of the Eurasian tradition of eagle falconry and celebrates, with an eye to the future, the unique opportunity American falconers have to fly this most capable and often misunderstood species.
Lauren McGough, PhD of Cultural Anthropology and Fulbright Scholar, has spent the last sixteen years flying eagles around the world. She is passionate about understanding falconry heritage, human-animal interactions and human evolution. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Colorado State University Pueblo looking into how different groups of people perceive golden eagles across the American West.
Delivered April 8, 2022, at the "Exploring Global Falconry Heritage" session of the Spring Rendezvous for The Archives of Falconry in Boise, Idaho.
This was the fastest 22 minutes ever! What I loved the most about this presentation, were the photos and video of her stay in Mongolia. Being both a falconer and anthropologist, she has a unique perspective on the ancient sport of kings. Thanks for posting this. Great stuff. 👍
I wish I was in the US to have the opportunity to learn from Lauren and experience the falconry culture
