Environmental Studies FACULTY
With research focused on the intersection of humanity and the environment, Professor Campbell’s research explores strategies and practices for sustainable co-existence. Campbell’s film production venture, Ozarkadia Films, provides a forum for collaboration with students and independent filmmakers to produce ethnographic films with a focus on environmental anthropology and sustainable land management.
Of particular interest to student researchers are our Chestnut Orchard, Long Leaf Pine forests and PawPaw (Asimina trilobal) groves. Berry’s kitchens are a living laboratory for learning about sustainable food management.
