Thesis title: Entangled Futures: Geoengineering, Youth, and Indigenous Sociotechnical Imaginaries in the Arctic
Cody Alexander Skahan is a graduate of the MA program in Anthropology at the University of Iceland as a Leifur Eriksson Fellow and a recipient of the ESRC Grand Union DTP. Building on his master’s, his PhD fieldwork takes place in Iceland to investigate the social and environmental implications of the materialization of carbon capture and storage at commercial scale, as well as recent experiments with marine carbon dioxide removal and glacier albedo enhancement. Alongside his PhD research, he is running a series of public engagement workshops across the UK and the Arctic around the topic of geoengineering funded by the UK Advanced Research and Invention Agency called “How to Speak About Climate Cooling: co-creating a climate engineering engagement toolkit in the Arctic and the UK”. He also co-hosts a social theory and anthropology podcast with two friends called Un/livable Cultures.
