Amber Wutich is a President’s Professor and Director of the Center for Global Health at Arizona State University. An expert on water insecurity, Wutich directs the Global Ethnohydrology Study, a cross-cultural study of water knowledge and management in 20+ countries. Her two decades of community-based fieldwork explore how people respond, individually and collectively, to extremely water-scarce conditions. She leads NSF Action for Water Equity, a participatory convergence study that develops collaborative water solutions with water-insecure U.S. communities. 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 $40 million in research funds, as part of collaborative research teams, from NSF, USDA, USACE, and other funders.
