Postdoctoral Research Associate
Meg du Bray
Meg is a postdoctoral researcher at Idaho State University as part of the Managing Idaho's Landscape for Ecosystem Services project. She completed her PhD at Arizona State University in sociocultural anthropology studying the way that variance in biophysical vulnerability to climate change produces different types of emotional responses in a cross-cultural context. She uses the lens of environmental anthropology to understand vulnerability, equity, adaptive capacity, emotion, and social memory in a variety of landscapes.

Graduate Students
Chelsea Carson
Chelsea is a graduate student in sociology at Idaho State University. As part of the High Divide Research Group, her research examines the social-ecological dynamics of large-landscape conservation. In particular, she is interested in human-predator co- existence, and her thesis research will examine the livelihood impacts of predators on rancher livelihoods and rancher willingness to adopt predator friendly practices. Chelsea received her bachelor's degree at Colorado State University in Wildlife and Conservation Biology, and she was a Fulbright Grantee in Ecuador where she studied amphibian abundance and diversity in relation to varying agricultural practices.

Maia Chicherio
Maia is a graduate student at Idaho State University in the Sociology Department and is part of the High Divide Research Group. She has a BA in Animal Behavior from Franklin and Marshall College. Currently, her research focuses on human-predator co-existence, and she will use a life/family history research approach to investigate the social and cultural processes that shape hunter-wolf interactions and relations. Maia plans to pursue a Ph.D. focused on human-predator conflict when she finishes her master's degree.

Blake Corvin
Blake is a graduate student in sociology at Idaho State University and is part of the High Divide Research Group. He holds a bachelor's degree in Environmental and Sustainability Studies from the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Using the recent delisting of grizzlies as a case study, his research examines how tribal values are into conservation decision-making and how tribal members are affected by those decisions.
