I am an environmental anthropologist interested in how people’s ways of knowing impact conservation decision-making. In my master’s program at Oregon State, I was part of an interdisciplinary research team investigating the social-ecological impacts of dam removal on the Klamath River– the largest dam removal in US history. My master’s thesis focused on conservationists’ conceptualizations of the Basin post-dam removal and their priorities in regard to natural resource management objectives moving forward. My undergraduate research investigated the factors mobilizing young climate activists in the face of the climate crisis. These projects and my broader interests exist at the intersection of cognitive anthropology and environmental anthropology, which I look forward to expanding upon throughout my time at UGA.
