Anne Galvin, PhD

Anne Galvin, Associate Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at St. John’s University, Queens, NY, is a Cultural Anthropologist whose work focuses on the politics of community development in Jamaica, West Indies. Her most recent project examines the political ecology of the Black River in the agricultural parish of St. Elizabeth in relation to the post-colonial plantation context and contemporary globalization, which shape social disparities in river water access and control over environmental decision making in the region. She is also researching the experiences of Jamaicans employed through the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program in Nova Scotia.
