Mason Auger, Abby Hickcox, and Adam Williams have been selected as the recipients of the Geography Department's new Environment-Society Fellowship. Funded by a generous gift to the department, each fellowship provides $12,000 to support research in environment-society relations. Mason Auger's project, "Native Attachments: American Indians and the Yellowstone Environment," explores the fought relationship between the US National Park Service and Native Americans in the context of Yellowstone National Park . Abby Hickcox's dissertation is titled "Open Space? Environmentalism and the Politics of Belonging in ��«��Ƶ, Colorado" and focuses on the relationship between environmental and racial discourses by examining the politics of belonging constructed through local environmental narratives. Adam Williams' project is titled "Ordering modernity: Informal recycling in Shanghai, China" and examines how urban sustainability and environmental justice factor into the shifting relations between the state, the public and informal recyclers in China.
