Alexandria Casteel

Alexandria Casteel is an environmental anthropology graduate student at Dartmouth College, with broad interests in urban ecologies and environmental justice. For her doctoral research, she is interested in how legacies of structural racism shape Black environmental care, concern, and advocacy in Baltimore City. On the one hand, this research is motivated by the ongoing racial and political tensions in the United States, which have illuminated the ways that differences such as race inform the kinds of relationships we have with the environment, shape environmental debates and discourses, as well as determine access to nature and environmental amenities. On the other hand, Alexandria is also greatly inspired by her involvement in addressing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion concerns at Dartmouth and beyond. View Full Team
