Bryce DuBois holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Psychology and an MA in Clinical Psychology. As an interdisciplinary social scientist, he combines the anthropology of space and place, urban political ecology, urban studies, urban environmental education and environmental justice studies to investigate the politics of public spaces, especially beaches and other waterscapes. DuBois has published extensively on these topics and is currently an co-investigator on an action research project focused on coastal access in Narragansett Bay as a food justice issue for ethnically and racially minoritized people, he is a collaborator on the Blackstone River Commons project, and leads a long-term ethnographic project on the racialization of Rockaway Beach following Superstorm Sandy; a chapter of which will be included in the forthcoming book Beach Politics: Social, Racial, and Environmental Injustice on the Shoreline (NYU Press, edited by Setha Low), set to be published in late summer 2024.
Before teaching at the University of New Haven, Bryce taught at the College of the Holy Cross and Rhode Island School of Design, and prior to that was a Postdoctoral Associate with the Civic Ecology Lab in the Department of Natural Resources at Cornell University.
