Anne Rademacher is an environmental anthropologist interested the political and cultural dimensions of urban ecology and sustainability. She currently serves as Assistant Professor in programs in Environmental Studies and Metropolitan Studies in the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University. Through ethnographic analyses of urban environmental change, Rademacher studies how place-based affinities, contested histories, and ideologies of belonging develop in struggles over the form, content, and quality of urban environments. She recently completed a major research initiative in one of South Asia’s fastest-growing and most politically dynamic cities, Kathmandu. Other recent work has addressed urban ecology as it relates to housing and migration, political stability, cultural conflict, and alternative forms of environmental knowledge. Rademacher’s current research addresses the theory and practice of sustainable building, or green design, in rapid-growth cities of the Global South.
