I am interested in human responses to climate change, especially those that use markets and other ‘capitalist’ techniques. In particular, I study the construction and social manifestations of carbon markets in Brazil, where I look at efforts to reduce deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) as part of climate change mitigation. I graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in political science and earned a J.D. from N.Y.U.

I have an MA in Folklore from the University of California Berkeley and an MA from St. John’s College following their “great books” curriculum. My work in Folklore has centered on the home funeral movement in the United States in which friends and families care for the dead body without the intercession of the funeral industry. I am curious about the dead body as object and subject and the ways in which relationships between the living and the dead are continued, ruptured, and/or re-formed.
