Bram Tucker Photo: First Name: Bram Last Name: Tucker Office: 259 Baldwin Hall Read more about Bram Tucker I am fascinated by the economic lives of people in rural places, where food and other resources come from the land, forest, and sea. Rural economies are highly diversified, partially integrated into markets, and vulnerable to risk and uncertainty. We often think of them as "traditional," and traditions are important; but they have experienced long histories of social change.
Victor Thompson Photo: First Name: Victor Last Name: Thompson Read more about Victor Thompson I study big turning points in human history, especially how people have come together to form societies and how they've interacted with their environments over time. I focus on wetland and coastal areas, mainly along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the U.S., where I use archaeology to understand how people and climate have shaped each other over thousands of years. A big part of my work looks at how Indigenous communities governed themselves, highlighting the many different ways democratic systems can look beyond what we’re used to today.
