Dr. Erin Consiglio is an environmental anthropologist interested in human-animal relationships, energy and climate change in the Arctic. She received her PhD from the University of Aberdeen (UK), where she worked with a First Nations community in northern Canada to learn about Traditional Knowledge in wildlife co-management, particularly how it relates to local concerns about the effects of oil and gas development on caribou calving grounds in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. She recently worked with Ocean Nexus on a literature review of social equity in marine resource management.

Erin enjoys hiking (most of the time), baking, reading, finding good vegetarian/pescatarian food and working backstage in musical theater. She tried snowshoeing for the first time last winter and can’t wait to go again, and has also recently gotten into nature photography. Having grown up on the coast of Maine (USA), she loves the beach and all things cold and snowy.
