Meredith Jacobson, MSc

Meredith finished her Master’s thesis in 2020 on the topic of Anchor Forests – conceptualizing Tribal leadership in cross-boundary forest governance.  Meredith received her B.S. in Forestry and Natural Resources from UC Berkeley in 2014, where she researched public participation in a local controversy over how to manage urban eucalyptus forests. After graduating, her interest in the social dynamics of forestry led her to work in a multi-use redwood forest in the Santa Cruz mountains, and then to teach environmental education programs for youth. She finished her M.S. in Forest Ecosystems and Society, under co-advising of Dr. Emily Jane Davis and Dr. Reem Hajjar. Meredith’s research interests are in multi-stakeholder collaboration and participation in natural resource management in the American West. She is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology, University of Oregon.
