Aaron Gregory

Aaron Gregory Ph.D. is a BIPOC scholar with primary research interests in Indigenous Studies, Science & Technology Studies (STS), and Critical Infrastructure Studies. He has worked with Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest (USA), Chile, Thailand, and his own Indigenous ancestral communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to critically engage with the articulations of technology, governance and the environment. Dr. Gregory attends to the ways in which Indigenous communities integrate and/or refuse settler colonial technologies, materials, logics and practices while pursuing a decolonizing agenda, and the manner in which the settler state makes itself visible when developing infrastructure projects in partnership with Indigenous communities. In pursuit of these goals, Dr. Gregory is currently conducting research attending to the commissioning of renewable energy projects on Indigenous lands Northern California, and the decommissioning of hydroelectric dams throughout several Indigenous territories that comprise the Klamath River Basin.
