Samuel Siaw

UGA Arch
PhD Student

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Anthropology program at the University of Georgia. My research interests include rural development, agricultural sustainability, and climate change and adaptation strategies. I hold an M.A. in Sustainable International Development from Brandeis University’s Heller School for Social Policy & Management and a B.A. in Geography and Resource Development with Archaeology from the University of Ghana.

Prior to my graduate studies, I worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Statistical, Social, and Economic Research in Ghana. I also served with Lead for Ghana, an education-focused NGO, where I worked as an assistant supervisor and ICT instructor, helping to bridge the digital divide in underserved schools in Ghana.

My research interests include agricultural development, environmental justice, and climate policy. This reflects a commitment to producing research that informs both academic discourse and real-world development practice.
