Margo Jeanne Cohen

Margot Jeanne (she/her) is a PhD student in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) in the division of Society and Environment. She is a member of both the Climate Futures Lab and the Disabled Ecologies Lab. Her research brings together critical climate studies, feminist political ecology, critical pedagogy, and decolonial geographies in the Andean highlands of Ecuador and in Western Massachusetts. Her dissertation project engages anti-colonial and participatory methodologies to examine the coalitional politics of human-environment relations and the ways in which these political spaces reproduce, contest, or transform dominant discourses of climate change adaptation. Prior to starting her doctoral program, she worked in the nonprofit sector on issues of gender-based violence, reproductive justice, and climate justice. Margot Jeanne holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with Honors from Brown University and is a former Fulbright scholar.
