Join us November 12 at 4 pm to hear an original presentation by CHAT Postdoctoral Fellow, Fern Thompsett. 

Fern Thompsett is a sociocultural anthropologist whose research is based in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Her book project, tentatively titled Civilization's Discontents: Building Worlds at the End of the World in Cascadia, takes up questions of how people endeavor to live together in alternative multispecies communities, motivated by the climate crisis and anti-colonial critique. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Society for Economic Anthropology. She earned her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2025.
