Research InterestsPowell joined the TMU faculty in August 2023, following twelve years as faculty in the Department of Anthropology at Appalachian State University (North Carolina, USA), where she designed and directed a Bachelor’s degree program in Social Practice & Sustainability and affiliated with the University’s Research Center for Environment, Energy, and Economics.
Powell’s longstanding research has been in partnership with colleagues in the Navajo (Diné) Nation in the American Southwest (2003–present), focusing on intersections of environmental justice, ecological health humanities, energy extraction, and tribal sovereignty. Her ethnographic monograph, Landscapes of Power: Politics of Energy in the Navajo Nation (Duke Press, 2018), shares this work. She has also published in the Journal of Political Ecology; Collaborative Anthropologies; Anthropological Quarterly; Environment & Society; and the Native American Indigenous Studies Journal, as well as contributed numerous chapters to environmental anthropology edited volumes.
With faculty colleagues at Appalachian State, she co-founded the Environmental Justice “Co-Lab,” a research and teaching collaborative aligned with rural, community partners addressing climate change, extractivism, and industrialized agriculture. Powell brings the Co-Lab model to the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at TMU to expand transnational collaborative and convergent, qualitative research on issues of land rights, toxicity, transition, energy infrastructure, and the affective and sensorial politics of environmental harm, health, and wellbeing.
In the past decade, her research has been supported by Cornell University’s Society for the Humanities; the National Science Foundation (US); the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research; the Research Institute for Environment, Energy, and Economics at Appalachian State University; and, since 2021, with three awards from Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council.
Her current project, “Energy Ecologies,” is a collaboration with scholars in Indigenous environmental studies, grounded in Hualien County, eastern Taiwan. Powell also serves internationally as Council Member of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) and as Board Member of the Peace Development Fund.
She lives in Hualien, with her partner and three children.
