Mrill Ingram

Mrill Ingram is a writer and researcher, and currently Participatory Action Research Scientist at the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems, UW-Madison. Along with work on knowledge networks, her scholarship has focused on environmental art-science collaboration, narrative in environmental social movements, environmental policy, organic agriculture, and microbial biopolitics. The forthcoming book, Loving Orphaned Space, the art and science of belonging to Earth, is a geographer’s take on the enormous amount of territory we dedicate to infrastructure, but also a general call to recognize the potential of new occupations of such space. Other work includes a 2013 co-authored book with Raul Lejano and Helen Ingram, The Power of Narrative in Environmental Networks, on how story and narrative can enable grassroots environmental action. Previously, she’s worked The Progressive magazine, Upworthy, the journal Ecological Restoration, and the Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability.
