Carter Hunt is an environmental social scientist with expertise in the socio-cultural and environmental impacts of tourism on communities around protected areas in biodiverse regions of the tropics. Hunt is a former Fulbright Scholar in Ecuador.[1] and is currently an Associate Professor at Penn State University.
Life[edit]
Hunt was born in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He attended Hoquiam High School in Hoquiam, Washington and graduated from Henry County High School in Newcastle, Kentucky. He received an undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and graduate degrees from Texas A&M University, where he completed doctoral studies under Amanda Stronza. He is an alumnus of the National Science Foundation Integrated Graduate Education and Research Traineeship in Applied Biodiversity Science.[2][3]
After receiving his PhD in 2009, Hunt held post-doctoral fellowships in the Department of Anthropology at Stanford University and the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, where he was mentored by William H. Durham.[4] In 2013, Hunt joined the faculty of Pennsylvania State University, where he is currently an Associate Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management, and Anthropology.
Research[edit]
Hunt's research focuses broadly on the social science of environmental conservation, especially the relationship between efforts to conserve biodiversity, the forms of tourism this attracts, and the social, cultural, and environmental wellbeing of surrounding regions[5]. His work has been featured in over 40 peer-reviewed articles and scholarly book chapters, including in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, the Annual Review of Environment and Resources, and Human Organization. As a Fulbright Scholar[6] in Ecuador, he was hosted by the Charles Darwin Foundation in the Galapagos Islands, and he has also undertaken research there supported by the Cultural Anthropology Program at the National Science Foundation[7]
