At the Society for Cultural Anthropology Unconference this year, I designed a DIY installation to share zines I’ve collected over the past decade, including dozens made by students in my classes as well as others of broad anthropological interest (ranging from zines about fences and eco-terrorism to dishwashing in Alaska). I also made my own zine for the conference, based on an essay I’m revising that makes a case for why this form is especially useful for teaching, broadening possibilities of anthropological expression, and questioning the prestige hierarchies of academic publishing. You can download a copy below.

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.
