Elizabeth Hoover is an anthropologist who works as an associate professor in the Environmental Science Policy Management (ESPM) Department at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also a student of fire and has worked with several Prescribed Burn Associations (PBAs) across California; attended TREXs (Prescribed Fire Training Exchanges) in California, Nebraska, Missouri, South Carolina, Portugal, Poland, and Mexico; and worked on wildfires on a contract engine crew and an on-call federal hand crew. Her past work has centered on food sovereignty and environmental justice, and her current work focuses on the experience of women leaders working in wildfire; how prescribed burn associations in California are navigating challenges and forming collaborations in order to meet prescribed fire goals; and on international collaborations around wildland fire. When she’s not teaching at the university or working on fires, Professor Hoover leads a volunteer shift at a community farm and spars at a Muay Thai gym.
