The Environmental Anthropology Working Group is a growing group of anthropologists at ISA who meet on a weekly basis to discuss readings and hone their contributions to the broad and thriving anthropological debate on environmental topics. Theorizing the intersections between environmental anthropology and themes such as resource extraction, social reproduction, and the meanings of land, the group is regionally primarily focused on Southeast Asia yet sustains a keen comparative interest in other world regions such as Europe or Latin America. The group members share a commitment to long-term ethnographic fieldwork and, in addition, put their insights from fieldwork in dialogue with historical research, regional studies and especially anthropological theory. The group came into existence with Judith Bovensiepen’s arrival as the new director of ISA in September 2023 and Laura Burke’s arrival as a postdoctoral researcher in September 2024. In 2025, Tim Burger and Berta Tilman Pereira joined the working group as postdoctoral researcher and PhD student respectively.
