Amanda McMillan Lequieu

I am an environmental sociologist of work and home. My research interrogates the relationship between the material flows of capitalism, the risks of nature-based livelihoods, and the stability of social life in place. I focus on two groups of people: working-class communities who are directly impacted by the labor of turning nature into commodities and elites of capitalism who control the movement of capital through these places.

I received my PhD in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and I am now an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
