I also had one of those three-year National Science Foundation fellowships, in the field of natural resource sociology. I got to know many people through those conversations: graduate students in anthropology and other departments, and also professors like Don. We had a Friday afternoon seminar on environmental politics, a space for interdisciplinary conversation around political ecology and other ways of thinking through and critically analyzing environmental questions, like the cultural politics of the environment and environmental philosophy. I got to know Donald Moore because I had gotten involved in the Environmental Politics seminar, which ran for several years out of the Institute for International Studies that Michael Watts was directing. We were all trying to glean methods and techniques and approaches from lots of different places. I spent two years in that interdisciplinary PhD program, taking classes there, with professors like Jeff Romm, Nancy Peluso, and Louise Fortmann, and in other departments like geography, anthropology, history, sociology. Justin Greene: You started out at Berkeley not in anthropology, I believe, but in Environmental Studies?Īnand Pandian: I was admitted into a program in the College of Natural Resources called Environmental Science, Policy, and Management. In this conversation, Anand Pandian, Professor and Department Chair of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University and alumnus of the Department of Anthropology at UC Berkeley, and PhD student Justin Greene speak about ecologies, ethnographies, and anthropological educations.
