Noah Theriault is Associate Professor of Anthropology in Carnegie Mellon University's Department of History, part of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. He joined the faculty in 2017 and serves as Faculty Advisor for the Anthropology Minor and co-organizer of the History Department Research Seminar. His work bridges anthropology, history, and geography to examine how global capitalism shapes local social and environmental inequalities. Theriault earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013. His academic journey reflects a deep commitment to understanding the intersections of political power, environmental change, and cultural survival, particularly in Southeast Asia. As a political ecologist, Theriault's research focuses on how the globalization of capitalism shapes social and environmental inequality at the local level. His long-term ethnographic work in the Philippines, particularly in Palawan (described as the country's "last frontier"), examines how conservation efforts intersect with Indigenous rights and capitalist expansion. His forthcoming book, A Forest of Dreams: Conservation, Capitalism, and Indigenous Rights in the Philippines (University of Hawai'i Press, 2025), argues that attempts to "save the last frontier" often reinforce rather than reverse colonial and capitalist processes. He also investigates Manila's traffic congestion as a fulcrum for social inequality struggles and collaborates on energy justice research for Northern Appalachia. Theriault's publications reveal consistent themes of ontological multiplicity, Indigenous survivance, and the politics of visibility. His work spans Indigenous land rights in the Philippines, multispecies relations in urban contexts, toxic research methodologies, and the intersections of pandemic politics with land struggles. He frequently collaborates with Indigenous scholars and community members, reflecting his commitment to decolonial research practices that center Indigenous knowledge and perspectives. Theriault actively contributes to academic communities beyond CMU, having served on the executive board of the Philippine Studies Group of the Association for Asian Studies and as co-convenor of the Environmental Humanities Research Seminar. He was Visiting Professor in Indigenous Studies at the University of the Philippines - Baguio. His dedication to collaborative research is evident in his numerous co-authored publications with Indigenous scholars, demonstrating his commitment to relational, reciprocal knowledge creation that serves community organizing and collective action.
