Writing

I write for both academic and general audiences on ethnography, environment, politics, and representation. My writing includes essays, public scholarship, and academic articles that connect anthropological research to broader questions of politics and everyday life.

Selected writing:

  • Sapiens: Reproductive freedom before and after the fall of Roe.

  • Edge Effects: The history and politics of the Agua Fria River.

  • Anthrodendum: Pausing fieldwork during the COVID-19 pandemic and reconsidering what it means to be β€œin the field.”

  • Anthropology News: The political aesthetics of Kyrsten Sinema.

  • Current Anthropology: Contemporary ethnographic research in relation to historical, political, and ethical claims to intergenerational Western migration.

  • Narratively: Long-form journalism [and here].

  • In progress: Writing on the Colorado River and on the intersections of kinship, care, and elderhood.
