I study, write, and speak about nature, power + culture in Latin America and beyond. Sometimes this looks like working on renewable energy & development policy in South America.
Right now, I’m exploring cuisine from Latin America & the story of South America’s most interesting beverage: yerba mate and its delightful stimulating drink cousins guayusa and yaupon.
Want to get in touch? I’m the Bacca Foundation Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Environmental Sciences & Policy at Duke University.
