Ariel Rawson, Postdoctoral Scholar, Ohio State University. My long-term interests are at the intersections of environmentalism, social justice, and interdisciplinary education. Specifically, I’m interested in how “human” dimensions are integrated into ecology or (not!) and how the social construction of racial and gendered forms of difference becomes embedded into routine environmental concepts (e.g., competition, community, population). Recently, I’ve been collaboratively examining the relationship between colonialism and natural history in the context of increasing inclusion in ecology education. My Ph.D. examined the way race emerges, explicitly and implicitly, in excitement around the microbiome as a new ‘Anthropocene’ science of society-environment interactions. My previous work investigated the uneven relations between the global North and South in both Sustainable Development and in alternatives, such as ‘Rights for Nature.’ I have a Ph.D. and MA in Geography from Ohio State University and a BA in interdisciplinary studies from San Diego State University.
