Logan is interested in mobility, magic, margins, and especially food. His doctoral research centers changing patterns of mobility, agropastoral production, and food-related exchange in northwestern Nepal to understand how these processes and associated practices produce and reproduce selves, values, and relations across multiple margins. He received a Master’s in Environmental Science from the Yale School of the Environment in 2022 for a thesis investigating produced geographies of scarcity, developmental magic, and the implications of the coronavirus pandemic in Dolpo, Nepal. Logan spent 2022-2023 on a Fulbright in Dolpo growing barley, looking after livestock, and drinking tea. Prior to coming to Yale, Logan worked for two years in Arghakhanchi, Nepal, two years on Erromango in Vanuatu, and one year in Tacoma, WA coaching intercollegiate Debate at the University of Puget Sound. He likes walking up big hills, roasting taro, and Artocarpus.
