I am a writer and cultural anthropologist. I study the emotions and politics of environmental crisis. My recent publication examines the phenomenon of crisis fatigue--you can read it here.

My current book project explores the ongoing effects and affects of the Flint water crisis. This research highlights the everyday ways people form communities, make collective decisions, and sustain hope in a crisis that lasts years. My work has been supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and the Martin Family Fellowship for Sustainability. 

I received my PhD from MIT's program in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology, and Society in 2023. I am currently a lecturer in the Tufts Anthropology Department & Science, Technology, and Society program.

Alongside writing and teaching, I enjoy hosting podcasts with the New Books Network.
