About Charlotte Dawson
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology with interests in multispecies ethnography, environmental anthropology, and community archaeology. I received my BA in Anthropology and Art History from the University of Virginia in 2016 and received my MA in Anthropology at the University of Arizona in 2022 under the supervision of Dr. Lindsay Montgomery and Dr. Diane Austin.
I have held various research assistantships which have included archaeological mapping and surveying on a community archaeology project, qualitative content analysis of news media, and the development an equine-facilitated learning program. I am currently working as a research assistant on a Rockefeller-funded project with Dr. Michael Kotutwa Johnson and Dr. Matthew Rowe that is focused on revitalizing Puebloan agricultural systems.
I am currently conducting dissertation research on wildlife management programs under the supervision of Dr. Brian Silverstein.
