Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology, University of Kentucky
Part-Time Instructor of Anthropology, Transylvania University

I am a Cultural Anthropologist studying under Dr. Lisa Cliggett. My research integrates elements of economic, ecological, and feminist anthropology in order to engage contemporary debates on development and environmental change. Working in a frontier farming region outside one of Africa’s largest national parks, I investigate how gender- and age-based differences in household labor roles prompt men, women, boys, and girls to differently experience declines in natural resources.
