Biography
Amber Wutich is a professor of Anthropology and director of the Center for Global Health in ASUs School of Human Evolution and Social Change. Wutich received her PhD from the University of Florida in Cultural Anthropology with a specialization in Tropical Conservation and Development.
Her research examines inequitable environmental institutions and global health disparities, with an emphasis on water insecurity. She directs the Global Ethnohydrology Study, a multi-year cultural-cultural study of water knowledge and institutions conducted in 10 countries.
As a methodologist, she co-edits the journal Field Methods and co-authored the book Analyzing Qualitative Data: Systematic Approaches (2016, SAGE).
Wutich teaches ethnographic field methods and text analysis as part of the National Science Foundations programs in research methods in cultural anthropology. She teaches in ASUs degree programs in Global Health, Environmental Social Sciences, and Cultural Anthropology.
Wutich's teaching has been recognized with awards such as the Carnegie CASE Arizona Professor of the Year Award and ASU's Faculty Achievement Award for Excellence in Classroom Performance.
