The latest issue of Tipiti: Journal of Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America is now online. This particular issue is in honor of my uncle, the anthropologist Shelton Davis, who passed away in 2010. Here’s the full issue.
Here is also the brief essay that I wrote about Sandy featured in the issue.
I'm a cultural and environmental anthropologist with interests in biodiversity management and smallholder agriculture in rural Amazonia. I've conducted research on agrobiodiversity management, anthropogenic soils, and community-based conservation. Currently, I'm also interested in the ways that farmers rely upon social networks, local ecological knowledge, and agrobiodiversity management to contend with the uncertainties of global climate change.
