Amber Wutich is a President’s Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Center for Global Health at Arizona State University. Her two decades of community-based fieldwork are concerned with how inequitable and unjust resource institutions impact people’s well-being, especially under conditions of poverty. An expert on water insecurity and mental health, she directs the Global Ethnohydrology Study, a cross-cultural study of water knowledge and management. Wutich maintains longstanding ties in her field sites in Paraguay and Bolivia, and manages a strategic alliance between la Universidad Nacional de Itapúa (Paraguay) and ASU. An ethnographer and methodologist, Wutich has authored 150+ peer-reviewed publications, co-authored 4 books, edits the journal Field Methods, and directs the NSF Cultural Anthropology Methods Program. Her teaching has been recognized with awards such as Carnegie CASE Arizona Professor of the Year. Wutich has raised over $44 million in research funds, as part of collaborative research teams, from the National Science Foundation, USDA, and other funders.
