Caitlin H. Schroering
I hold a PhD in Sociology from the University of Pittsburgh and a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies from the University of Florida.  I am an assistant professor in the Department of Global Studies and affiliate faculty in Sociology and Latin American Studies at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte. My research coalesces around multiple areas of social inquiry, including environmental sociology, resource conflicts, water justice, political economy, and transnational/translocal social movements, using feminist and anti colonial research methodologies. My primary line of research is based on extensive fieldwork with two movements fighting against water grabbing, one in Brazil and one in the United States. I come to academia from a background in organizing and activism, and have over 19 years of experience in community, political, environmental, and labor organizing. My first book, Global Solidarities Against Water Grabbing: Without Water, We Have Nothing (2024) was published by Manchester University Press.
