Barnes, Jessica
Associate Professor
My research examines the culture and politics of resource use and environmental change in the Middle East. Her first book, Cultivating the Nile: The Everyday Politics of Water in Egypt, forthcoming with Duke University Press, is an ethnography of water and the politics surrounding its use. In her current project, she is exploring the nexus of climate change, water management, and agricultural policy in the Middle East.
