About the Author
Anne Rademacher is an anthropologist and environmental scholar whose work bridges urban studies, ecology, and political geography. With a focus on South Asia, she examines how human societies interact with their natural environments amid rapid urbanization and political change. Her research draws on extensive fieldwork in Kathmandu, Nepal, revealing the intricate dynamics between rivers, cities, and governance. Rademacher's interdisciplinary approach highlights the agency of non-human elements in shaping social and political landscapes, offering fresh perspectives on sustainability in the Global South. As an associate professor at New York University, she continues to influence debates on environmental justice and urban resilience through her teaching and publications. Her acclaimed book, Reigning the River: Urban Ecologies and Political Transformation in Kathmandu (New Ecologies for the Twenty-First Century), exemplifies her commitment to understanding the entangled histories of nature and power in contemporary cities.
