Megan Raby
Megan Raby is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research examines the role of place and politics in the history of ecology, including how scientists and their field sites have shaped each other. Her book American Tropics: The Caribbean Roots of Biodiversity Science (University of North Carolina Press, 2017) explores the relationship between the history of field ecology, the expansion of U.S. hegemony in the circum-Caribbean during the 20th century, and the emergence of the modern concept of biodiversity.
