I produce applied scholarship at the intersection of anthropology, environmental health, and feminist and critical race science studies. My research agenda mobilizes the richness of interdisciplinary research to experiment with methodologies, pedagogies, and modes of public scholarship that:

1. Are of direct use to communities organizing for water and climate justice, and

2. Might catalyze the tools of the academy toward anticolonial climate and water justice futures.

I aim to reconsider some of the most central concepts in environmental and climate justice - including contamination, race, and evidence - in order to avoid reifying the same colonial logics that produced contemporary environmental and climate crises. I received my PhD in Feminist Studies from the University of California, Santa Cruz. You can reach me at viv [dot] underhill [at] gmail [dot] com.
