Owen Curtin
Undergraduate Student | Anthropology and Environmental Studies
Hi, my name is Owen Curtin. I am a senior majoring in Anthropology and Environmental Studies. My main academic focus is on water management, specifically improving water access through legal reforms and advocating for more stringent water quality testing. I am from Boise, Idaho, which is what really sparked my passion for water-related topics. I have always grown up around rivers and lakes, and the tensions around these ecological systems continue to drive me and my politics forward. When I'm not doing research, you can find me at the Yale Farm or at Yale Community Kitchen. I also love to cook—hosting friends for a little dinner party is my favorite pastime.
