Sociology Professor Hillary Angelo received a 2023 Sprout Grant to support her fieldwork in southern Utah. Angelo is studying local resistance to large-scale solar development on public lands and exploring more socially and environmentally responsible paths to decarbonization. As part of this work, this past academic year, she has contributed to two draft journal articles, prepared a book proposal, and supported advocates in Nevada and Utah by serving on a non-profit board and helping prepare critiques and responses to federal land-use plans.
