Amber Ziegler
I am an environmental anthropologist with research interests in death studies, climate change adaptation, and science and technology studies. Most recently, I worked for the Nez Perce Tribe Climate Change Program. In 2017, I received a M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Idaho, with a focus on multiple disciplinary, collaborative research in social-ecological systems. During my graduate program I also discovered a passion for conducting research about American deathways. In addition to a B.S. in Anthropology, I have an academic certificate in Diversity & Stratification. I have one kid and two cats. In my free time, I serve on the Sustainable Environment Commission for the city of Moscow, Idaho, and volunteer with our local chapter of the League of Women Voters. My hobbies include reading science fiction, yoga, hiking, cooking, and trying to keep houseplants alive.
