Bradford Seminar: “Sustainability Through Collaboration and Community Engagement in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot”

Kristina Douglass, assistant professor of anthropology and African studies at Penn State, will present “Sustainability Through Collaboration and Community Engagement in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot” via Zoom webinar. Register online in advance to receive a webinar link.

Douglass is an archaeologist who investigates how people, landscapes and seascapes co-evolve. For the past seven years, she has directed the Morombe Archaeological Project (MAP), which investigates human-environment interaction in southwest Madagascar. Her work is grounded in collaborations with local, Indigenous and descendant (LID) communities as equal partners in the co-production of science, and the recording, preservation and dissemination of LID knowledge. Douglass and her collaborators aim to contribute long-term perspectives on human-environment interactions to public debates, planning and policymaking on the issues of climate change, conservation and sustainability.

This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI). Douglass’ talk cosponsored by the Department of Anthropology.
