Research InterestsMy training and research have emphasized the anthropology of communities and conservation, environmental governance and social movements, collaborative resource management, and socio-economic change in resource-dependent communities in Central America and the Pacific Northwest United States. I am currently writing my dissertation at the University of Washington in Seattle where I am a doctoral student in Environmental Anthropology. A copy of my CV can be found using this link. Dissertation ProjectMy dissertation, The Art of Environmental Politics: Resource Management in a Mexican Communal Forestland, is an ethnographic and historical study of community-state relations in the environmental governance of a common property forest in Oaxaca, Mexico. The project implements a feminist political ecology and ethnohistoric approach to the analysis of natural resource management and subsequent transformations in rural livelihoods and social relations in a forested mountain community in the Sierra Ju‡rez. Other Research ProjectsI am also involved in a Fire Social Science project with the USDA Forest Service - Pacific Northwest Research Station with Dr. Susan Charnley. This research seeks to understand Agency and Community dynamics in Hazardous Fuels Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration in Fire-adapted ecosystems. Publications (click to download)
