Thesis title: Entangled Futures: Geoengineering, Youth, and Indigenous Sociotechnical Imaginaries in the Arctic
Cody Skahan is a graduate of the MA program in Anthropology at the University of Iceland as a Leifur Eriksson Fellow and recipient of a Grand Union ESRC doctoral training partnership. His research focuses on youth environmentalism in the Arctic related to conflicting and interrelated sociotechnical imaginaries around geoengineering/climate intervention. Specifically, his work focuses on the interactions between NGOs and others conducting workshops/panel discussions/etc. around geoengineering/climate intervention (particularly SAI) with Indigenous Peoples--such as the Sámi.
Cody also co-hosts a social theory and anthropology podcast with two of his friends called Un/livable Cultures, available wherever you get podcasts.
