Noah Dennison received a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary social sciences from Franklin University in 2023. His undergraduate thesis explored social-ecological systems in the Salish Sea and specifically examined the relationships between declining canopy kelp populations, industrial development, and conservation culture throughout northwest Washington. Noah is currently developing an ethnography of Central Appalachian coal country, where questions of identity, belonging, and landscape are intertwined with global-local systems of extractive industry. By tracing residues of the structural legacies of coal through oral history, folklore, and cultural practice, he seeks to highlight how communities imagine and create place-based futures in regions marred by rapid environmental destruction.
