Bio/CV:
Alexis Wood is a PhD student in the Department of Geography and the Berkeley Center for New Media. She researches the growing intersections between climate change, digital geographies, and rural socio-political movements, with a particular interest in current secessionist state movements in the United States. In this, her project asks how participants in these types of movements incorporate heightened levels of climate anxiety with existing feelings of rural marginalization in both physical and digital landscapes to better understand the rural/urban divide.
