Amanda Bertana

Amanda Bertana, PhD, is an assistant professor in Sociology and Environmental Studies. Her work examines the political economy of environmental degradation, environmental justice, and climate change adaptation. She was a 2027 scholarly resident at A Studio in the Woods, where she is refining a manuscript titled Coastal Futures: Managing Adaptation in a Changing Climate. The manuscript argues that climate adaptation often reproduces capitalist development and should be reframed through adaptation justice.
