Ellen Kohl

Ellen Kohl is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at St. Mary's College of Maryland. Her research focuses on environmental justice, gender, intersectionality, and critical geographies, particularly examining how place-based identities influence activism and storytelling in marginalized communities.

Research Interests: Kohl's work integrates intersectional theory with spatial analysis to explore how language and narratives shape environmental justice advocacy. She emphasizes the role of storytelling in amplifying marginalized voices and challenges homogenized conceptions of community belonging in policy contexts.

Publications: Her recent articles analyze the micro-politics of 'belonging' in EPA initiatives and the narrative strategies of the Newtown Florist Club in Georgia. These studies contribute to critical geographies by linking structural inequities to everyday discursive practices.
