The Department of Anthropology at SUNY-Brockport was kind enough to invite me to share some insights from my ongoing research examining the use of human waste as a resource for agricultural fertilization – both in the human past and present. Here you can watch the guest lecture, which was recorded from the event on April 22nd.
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.
