NATHAN D. WOODS

ORGANIZATIONAL ANTHROPOLOGIST


I am an organizational anthropologist and information scientist addressing the human dimensions of complex social, environmental, and technical problems. Situated at the intersection of research and practice, my work focuses on enhancing the capacity of individuals and communities to navigate and shape institutional and technological systems. I combine organizational research and design to mobilize collaborative ingenuity, develop information and technical resources, and support innovative programs and services.

I study how we organize to move knowledge to action, bridging the gap between research, policy and practice. Working with multiple stakeholders, my ongoing projects include building adaptive capacity to climate change; developing tools to support knowledge sharing and innovation; and reimagining the scientific and cultural record.
