Warren Cook (he/him)

I’m a PhD candidate in the Dept. of Communication (Rhetoric and Culture) and an Assistant Teaching Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder

My research is on water politics (primarily in the arid US West) through the lenses of cultural studies, science & technology studies (STS), environmental communication & justice, and Native American & Indigenous Studies (NAIS).

I received my MA in Communication (Rhetoric and Culture) from CU Boulder, and my BA in History from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, UT.
