Dr. Isabel Call

Dr. Isabel Call is an economist and participatory methodologist working towards economic and environmental justice. Hailing from east Tennessee, she has lived in cooperative communities in the Sacramento area, Seattle, Indonesia, and northeast Ohio, and brings to her work a passion for investment in local communities and bridge-building between them. Her research has focused on international climate change policy and its implications for small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. As a student in the Master of Arts in Social Change program at Starr King, she is developing participatory action research and educational methods to bring the tools of economic analysis into the hands of spiritual leaders who can, together with their communities, use and reshape them to better serve our planet.
