Definitely power, I want to know more about that. Seems to me you are on to something with that. Specifically can we think about what the power consists of with regard to conservation biology and whether it’s always on the side of modernity or development or does it sometimes support wilderness or conservation or whatever? Can it be resisted or influenced? There’s a danger of this being a history of protest movements, which maybe isn’t what you are after. Following Fairy Creek Blockade on Instagram, definitely a power struggle there between opposing worldviews, but also between groups of people…. Probably your area is more philosophical than that, but maybe it is relevant.
Also, I agree your emotional responses are interesting and not to be dismissed. But you are very hard on yourself. Would you approach anyone else with such blistering scrutiny? Can you not trust your impulses a bit, sometimes? Is the Oxford lacuna about an absence of compassion for the self?
I have been following from afar, it’s quite interesting seeing the process processing!

Happy Christmas!
That report card is fantastic. Were you just slow at writing or were you lost in thought planning out some future novel?
