Tianna Bruno

Tianna Bruno serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in interdisciplinary environmental research that confronts racialized ecological injustices through critical geographic frameworks.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Geography, University of Oregon (2021)

Research Interests:
Dr. Bruno pioneers the integration of Black Environmental Geographies with Critical Physical Geography, examining how Black communities navigate environmental degradation through spatial and ecological relationships. Her work employs dendrochronology to analyze tree-ring records as embodied archives of both ecological trauma and resilience. Current projects center on Texas landscapes while developing comparative frameworks across the Black diaspora, emphasizing environmental justice praxis that centers subaltern survival strategies within political ecology.
