Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, Saint Louis University

I study the intersection of Indigenous rights and hydropower development within the context of climate governance. I conduct mixed-methods ethnographic research across multiple levels of governance: at international climate-related conferences (where policy is produced) and in local Indigenous communities (where policy is enacted). I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Saint Louis University, where I am also a primary investigator at the Water Institute. I am the regional co-chair of the Global River Protection Coalition.
