Profile

After six years in education and environmental work, I came to the University of Oregon to study the historical relationships between diverse workers and environmental/conservation causes in North America. My interest in these relationships stems from my own experiences working in commercial seafood, wilderness guiding, and public schools. I aim to use my time at the University of Oregon to become a more nuanced, accurate, and wise storyteller to advance causes of intersectional environmental justice. Methodologically, I am interested in the strengths and challenges of oral histories, ecofeminism, public history (especially podcasts!), and subaltern studies. I aim to work in an interdisciplinary manner and in reciprocal partnership with peers, elders, and young people -- please don't hesitate to reach out if our interests overlap.
