Outreach Coordinator & Grants
Cleo Woelfle-Hazard is an activist, artist, and and feminist science studies scholar whose research focuses on ecological and social dimensions of human relations to rivers and their more-than-human inhabitants, and on how queer trans feminist thought can transfigure ecological science as it’s used by Indigenous and non-Native practitioners in fire and river management. He is the Habitat Restoration Program Manager for the Karuk Tribe Department of Natural Resources, where he co-leads projects in partnership with Native nations, agencies, and local community members. He co-produced a musical about water politics and salmon migration, The Gold Fish, or, Straight Flushes for the Manifestly Destined (2012) and the short film The Gold Fish Casino (2017). His latest book is Underflows: Queer trans ecology and river justice (University of Washington, 2022).
