Sara Tyberg is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at UCSB. Her research broadly examines gender, power, and privilege in a variety of U.S. contexts, including mass shootings, environmental disaster, and reproductive health. Her dissertation is based on an ethnographic study of an affluent coastal community in California, exploring how community members have been affected by natural disaster and perceive environmental risk.
