Meredith Welch-Devine is a post-doctoral research associate at the Center for Integrative Conservation Research at UGA. In her work as an anthropologist, she has lived and worked in the Basque Country, Uganda, and Costa Rica. Meredith’s work focuses on how people interact with and manage their environments, and she is currently working on a project to understand how the social sciences are and can be used in environmental conservation. As an anthropologist, Meredith views photography as a powerful form of storytelling that connects the viewer to the people and places pictured, but also as a tool for eliciting stories and memories from others. http://mwdevine.myweb.uga.edu/ |
