Dr. Jahue Anderson works in the field of environmental history. His background includes serving in faculty roles at various colleges and universities, researching the environmental history of the Southern Plains, and writing and publishing journal articles and books on the subjects of environmental history, online learning, and Plains indigenous cultural landscapes. Recently, Dr. Anderson published an academic monograph titled The Falls of Wichita Falls: An Environmental History of the Red Rolling Plains (2023) for the Plains Histories Series at Texas Tech University Press. Anderson’s book examines how local Indigenous environmental knowledge was washed out by moonshot plans to irrigate a valley, a project that ultimately failed to improve living conditions. Anderson’s current research focuses on the history of environmental racism on the Texas Plains and the intersectionality of geography, history, and music. He earned a Ph.D. in US History from Texas Christian University in 2009 and an M.A. in US History from Texas State University-San Marcos in 2004. He earned a B.A. in History and a B.A. in Geography from the University of Texas at Austin in 2001. Dr. Anderson enjoys watching films, collecting vinyl records, traveling, and living in the country on his family’s farm in north Texas.
