This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program (CFDA #47.075) will support socioecological research and training on the emergence of inequality. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Simon Brewer at the University of Utah, the postdoctoral fellow will investigate environmental and social interactions driving material inequality in the Intermountain West. Quantitative modeling will evaluate the relative influences of environmental change, population density, subsistence intensification, and privatization on inequality emergence. Four case studies will generate new comparative data and methods to advance understanding of these dynamic systems beyond current limitations. In addition to furthering the fellow's career, the project will recruit and train underrepresented students in data collection and analysis. Findings will be shared with the public through the Natural History Museum of Utah.
