Millie Spencer has been awarded the 2024-2025 Fulbright-Nehru Research Fellowship.
She is currently doing field work in Concepción, Chile, analyzing glacier retreat and its impacts on downstream communities in south-central Chile.
The Chile Fulbright Science Initiative will enable her to expand her existing research in Chile further south to the region of AraucanÃa, where she plans to work with Mapuche-Pehuenche communities to document oral histories of glacier retreat and hydrological change, and illuminate how water insecurity disproportionately impacts Indigenous peoples.
