Myles Lennon is an environmental anthropologist and sustainable energy policy practitioner whose research explores the intersection of rooftop solar technologies and 'resiliency' microgrids within the context of climate mitigation infrastructures. His work critically examines how these technologies simultaneously reinforce and disrupt entrenched power dynamics, particularly in relation to long-standing racial and class divisions in urban contexts, specifically New York City. Supported by significant grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation and other foundations, Myles's scholarly interests span anthropology, energy, climate justice, and multispecies ethnography. His teaching also emphasizes environmental justice and the epistemological politics of climate and energy systems. His academic journey includes a B.A. in Development Studies from Brown University and a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Forestry & Environmental Studies from Yale University. Prior to his academic career, he worked in sustainable energy for eight years, which informs his research and teaching.
