Here is a recent feature in Anthropology News from the American Anthropological Association’s Climate Change Task Force. This article highlights the research of Richard Wilk from Indiana University and Lissie Wahl, a research fellow at Harvard Medical School who’s investigating the links between dams, deforestation, and disease in Amazonia.
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.
