Patrick Robinson

I am a MA/PhD student in Sociocultural Anthropology with a doctoral minor in Geography. I received my BA from the University of Virginia in Global Development Studies, Foreign Affairs, and Latin American Studies in 2019. After graduating, I worked for Habitat for Humanity for three years helping to build and rehabilitate homes for low income people in Richmond, VA. My research concerns environmental monitoring as a form of anti-mining activism in a cloud forest region of northwest Ecuador. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, reading all kinds of weird books, building, hiking, camping, fishing, and snowboarding.
