I am a writer and cultural anthropologist, and currently an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Humanities at Wesleyan University.

I am interested in the emotions and politics of environmental crisis. My most recent publication examines the phenomenon of crisis fatigue--you can read it here. Alongside research and teaching, I enjoy hosting podcasts with the New Books Network. 

The current focus of my work involves ethnographic research on 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. From 2023-2026, I was a lecturer at Tufts University in the Anthropology Department & Science, Technology, and Society program.
