Anna J. Willow

Anna J. Willow is a cultural anthropologist who studies how Indigenous and other communities in North America experience and respond to environmental change, resource extraction (such as mining and hydroelectric dams), and the shift away from fossil fuels (the 'post-carbon transition'). Her work often examines Indigenous rights, environmental justice, and how people imagine and build alternative futures in the face of ecological and economic disruption. This research combines ethnography (in-depth fieldwork and interviews) with theoretical writing on sustainability, decolonization, and climate anxiety.

Publication output has been fairly steady at 2-4 per year for most of the last decade, with a gap in 2024 followed by a notable spike in 2025.
