Biography

James
Stinson
Thornbury, Ontario, Canada
I am a cultural anthropologist specializing in the political ecology of conservation and development and the cultural politics of indigeneity. My research has explored linkages between ecotourism and resource extraction, community-based conservation, indigenous land rights, and the growing intersection between conservation, outdoor recreation, and new media technologies. I have a Ph.D. from the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto in 2017, advanced training and expertise in qualitative and ethnographic research methods, including Stakeholder Analysis, and have conducted 16 months of ethnographic research in Latin America and the Caribbean.
