About Me:
I'm a Ph.D. student in Cultural Anthropology, with a Specialization in Anthropologies of Science, Technology, and Medicine at the University of California, Irvine.
My graduate research investigates the science and cultural politics of slow ecological disasters through a focus on water scarcity, climate change, and applied environmental science in the southern California desert. At UC Irvine, I am affiliated with the Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center, Water UCI, and the Center for Global Peace and Conflict Studies. I am currently collaborating with physical and social scientists across UCI on a project to study participatory science and water management in the "threshold-driven system" of Borrego Springs Valley, California.
