Image Description

I am interested in exploring social-environmental systems dynamics in the past, present, and future. My current work is focused on collaborative, transdisciplinary projects with Indigenous communities in western North America. More information on current research is available here. Selections of past research findings are summarized here. Publications and other products are here and on linked sites above.
I received my PhD and MA from Stanford University, and my BS degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I have been at the University of Utah since 2012, where I am currently professor of Anthropology, director of the Archaeological Center, research affiliate with the Global Change and Sustainability Center, SPARC Environmental Justice Lab, and Natural History Musuem of Utah, and faculty fellow with the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Initiative in the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute.
