Dr. Hallie Eakin
About: My interest in social and political aspects of vulnerability began as an undergraduate at Brown University, where I had the fortune of researching the Zimbabwean government’s response to the 1992 drought in Zimbabwe in the context of structural adjustment. My fascination with the interaction of environmental and political-economic uncertainty and change in shaping household vulnerabilities led me to work at the World Bank, where I focused on drought risk management policy and El Niño forecasting in southern Africa. I received my doctorate and master’s degree in geography from the University of Arizona, where I continued to work on the political-economic and climatic influences of vulnerability in the context of smallholder farmers in Puebla and Tlaxcala, Mexico. I examined the capacities of rural households to manage these diverse sources of uncertainty. I followed my doctorate work with a postdoctoral position in the Centro de Ciencias de la Atmósfera at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), where I participated in a project exploring the vulnerability of coffee farmers in Veracruz and sorghum/maize farmers in Tamaulipas to market and climatic shocks and stress. I joined the faculty of the Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2005 and, in 2008, moved to my present location, the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University.
