Research Interests: Ahmann investigates how communities politicize 'impure' environments shaped by late industrialism. Her scholarship spans toxified landscapes, regulatory failures, and the intersection of racism and climate policy in Baltimore. She also examines separatist movements in the Pacific Northwest, interrogating how histories of settler colonialism and modern environmental degradation inform present-day political projects.
Publications: Ahmann's research has appeared in Public Culture, American Anthropologist, Cultural Anthropology, and American Ethnologist. Her 2024 book Futures after Progress analyzes speculative governance in postindustrial spaces.
