Cissy Fowler is an Assistant Professor at Wofford College, Secretary of the Society of Ethnobiology, and co-Editor of Ethnobiology Letters.  Cissy conducts transdisciplinary research on society and nature. In her fieldwork in Eastern Indonesia’s dry monsoonal tropics, she studies the materialization of fire; that is, fire as a creative expression of social relations and ecological perceptions. Cissy also engages in participant observation with American mountain bikers who create meanings through their encounters with forests mediated by technologies. In the U.S. South, Cissy focuses on the critical study of fire science and the use of fire to manage landscapes. Cissy also serves as a Commissioner of the Foothills Fire Service Area.
