What should we call people who fish?
Dr Danika Kleiber
(Research Fellow, WorldFish)
‘Fishermen’ and the gender-neutral ‘fishers’ are the most common English language terms used to describe people who fish. Which is best? Why does this matter for fisheries and science?
Dr Kleiber is a Research Fellow in Governance of small-scale fisheries at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and WorldFish. She weaves together a background in women’s studies and biology to study the intersection of feminism and fisheries.
