- About Me
I study the interaction of environments and technologies, in particular work animals and infrastructures. I am interested in how things are maintained, and am concerned with issues of energy, work and justice. My current project is an environmental history of the Erie Canal, focusing on the social, political and material factors that maintained the Canal system in the 19th and early 20th century. Planned projects include studying Adirondack Park infrastructures.
