Office: Education Building #62 | Room 347
Dr. Reedy received her PhD from the University of Cambridge (Pembroke College) in Social Anthropology in 2004 with an emphasis on arctic cultures, natural resource economies, and environmental policy. Dr. Reedy is a sociocultural anthropologist conducting ethnographic research primarily in the communities of the Alaska Peninsula, Aleutian Island Chain, and Pribilof Islands. Her primary research is investigating the role of traditional commercial and subsistence economies in the construction and maintenance of indigenous Aleut/Unangax虃 identity and village sustainability. Research projects have spanned topics involving indigenous rights and representations of identity, Aleut/Unangax虃 culture and history, ecological anthropology, ethnohistory, economic development, subsistence and commercial fisheries, local knowledge of food harvesting and ecology, oil and gas development, energy development, and environmental and fisheries policymaking. In addition to ongoing ethnographic work, current projects investigate the marine historical ecology of the Pacific cod fishery and the integration of marine energy resources into the existing infrastructure of coastal communities. Dr. Reedy accepts graduate students with interests in any area of inquiry related to indigeneity and applied anthropology. Raised on a farm in Idaho, and having raised two sons in Pocatello, her family enjoys downhill skiing, hiking, fishing, snowmachining, urban farming, and travel adventures.
