Sneddon's theoretical framework integrates political ecology, ecological theory, power dynamics, and science and technology studies (STS). His recent projects examine the social dimensions of river restoration and dam removals in New England, while his 2015 book Concrete Revolution explores the intersection of large dams, Cold War geopolitics, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Key research themes from his publications include water governance, contested knowledge in dam projects, state power in environmental interventions, and the geopolitical implications of infrastructure development. His work spans both historical and contemporary contexts across Southeast Asia and the United States.
Sneddon teaches courses on political ecology, qualitative research methods, environmental history, and the environmental politics of Southeast Asia. He is affiliated with Dartmouth's Environmental Studies Center and the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding.
