Keith G. Tidball
- Campus: Ithaca
- Concentrations: Natural Resources: community-based natural resources management; human dimensions of natural resources management
- Research Interests: Keith is an environmental anthropologist and naturalist focused on better understanding how to amplify recruitment of citizen conservationists and the development of a 21st century land ethic. His work features efforts to locate and explore portals and pathways into conservation behaviors and other human dimensions of social-ecological systems resilience. Grounded in cultural anthropology, disturbance ecology and environmental psychology, he approaches this challenge via his integrated research and extension work exploring the dynamics of natural resource management in the contexts of trauma, disturbance, disasters and war. Experiences in the military and in the field of international disaster response and relief inform his unique brand of applied scholarship, including stints throughout Asia, Africa and the Americas.
