Bryce DuBois

Bryce DuBois holds a PhD in Environmental Psychology and an MA in Clinical Psychology. As an interdisciplinary social scientist, he combines the anthropology of space and place, political ecology, urban studies, urban environmental education and environmental justice studies to investigate socio-environmental challenges. DuBois has published extensively on these topics and is currently the co-principal investigator of the StewMAP Southeast New England project and a collaborator on the Blackstone River Commons project. He is developing a book chapter for Beach Politics (NYU Press, edited by Setha Low) based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork on the racialization of Rockaway Beach following Superstorm Sandy. In addition to teaching at RISD, DuBois is a visiting assistant professor at College of the Holy Cross, and prior to that a postdoctoral associate with the Civic Ecology Lab in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University.
