Shae Barber (they/them/theirs) was born and raised between the towering Rocky Mountains and the vast Great Basin in Bountiful, Utah, where they developed a deep connection to place on the shores of Great Salt Lake. Their academic interests center on human cultural, social, and emotional relationships with land, exploring the intersection of gender and environment through an ecofeminist lens. Their current research examines how the use of gendered and personified language by environmental advocates at the Great Salt Lake influences action and policy for environmental protection. In their free time, Shae enjoys watercolor painting, camping in the desert, and curling up with a good book and their cat, Beetle.
