Todd Sanders is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. He teaches courses on anthropological theory and methods, science, expertise and the environment at the Mississauga and St. George campuses. His current research is concerned with the production and politics of knowledge, and focuses on Euro-American knowledge practices and knowledge-making institutions surrounding energy and the environment. He is collaborating with Elizabeth F. Hall on two research projects that pertain to environmental governance: one on global environmental change sciences – including the human sciences – and the contexts in which they operate; the other, a five-year SSHRC-funded project, on the science and policy of fracking in England. A recent project article (in JRAI, below) won second prize from the British Sociological Association for the best sociological article on climate change published in 2015.
