Writing

I write for both academic and general audiences about topics related to my research.

Some examples of my writing about about ethnographic fieldwork, the environment, the politics of representation, and Arizona :

For Edge Effects, I wrote about the history of the Agua Fria River;

For Anthrodendum, I wrote about having to pause fieldwork due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and what it means to be “in the field”;

For Anthropology News, I wrote about Kyrsten Sinema’s political aesthetics;

For Current Anthropology, I wrote an article exploring contemporary ethnographic research against historical, political, and ethical claims to intergenerational Western migration.

Other writing projects include long-form journalism at Narratively (& here); in-progress projects about the Colorado River, and the intersections between kinship and elder care.
