Max Ritts
Max Ritts is an environmental geographer whose research explores intersections of social power, sensory practice and ecological transformation – with a particular focus on Indigenous community contexts. His book, A Resonant Ecology (under contract with Duke University Press, 2024), examines the material, affective and conceptual force of industrial development through situated enactments of sonic culture (encompassing eco-acoustics, whalesong, industrial noise and Indigenous heavy metal). The book is rooted in collaborations with communities on the North Coast of British Columbia, where Max has been working since 2013. Prior to joining Clark, Max was a College Research Associate (CRA) at King’s College, University of Cambridge. He received his Ph.D. in geography from the University of British Columbia in 2018.
