My name is Brandon Rothrock (pronouns: he/him/his), a queer geographer and sustainability generalist. I am currently a first-year Geography PhD student at The Ohio State University and a Board Member for OUT for Sustainability, a queer-run and volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to co-producing environmental justice and climate resilience for and by LGBTQ+ communities. Prior to Ohio State, I was an Assistant Program Manager of Energy Efficiency for TRC Companies, Inc. and an Alumni Engagement Manager for the Climate Corps team at Environmental Defense Fund. Over my career, I have held multiple jobs in academia, nonprofits, and private corporations, and have completed environmental fellowships with organizations such as Citizens’ Climate Lobby, The Rachel Carson Council, Sustainable Jersey, and Environmental Defense Fund. My academic interests are in queer and feminist geography, disability studies, rural studies, environmental justice, climate change, and climate adaptation and resilience, which have bled into all aspects of my work. I received a B.S. in Geography and minors in Climatology and Sustainability Leadership from the Pennsylvania State University in 2018, and a M.A. in Geography and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies from West Virginia University in 2021.

I am currently a first-year Geography PhD student at The Ohio State University, where my doctoral research explores the intersection of LGBTQIA+ livelihoods and energy development in Appalachia. Outside of my doctoral studies, I am also a Board Member for OUT for Sustainability (OUT4S), a national non-profit that co-creates a platform for environmental justice and climate resilience by and for the LGBTQIA+ community. Prior to Ohio State, I was an Assistant Program Manager of Energy Efficiency at TRC Companies, Inc., where I ran New Jersey’s Residential New Construction incentive program. I was also an Alumni Engagement Manager on the Climate Corps team with Environmental Defense Fund for the Summer 2023 fellowship season, where I managed nine fellow engagements in energy efficiency and environmental justice. I recently graduated from West Virginia University in 2021, where I completed a MA in Geography and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies. My thesis investigated LGBTQ+ undergraduate student understandings of the environment and climate change in Appalachia. A copy of my thesis is available here. My interests as a feminist and queer geographer more broadly include LGBTQ+ marginalization inside and outside of climate disasters, sustainability issues in higher education, energy policy in Appalachia, disability studies, and the politicization of climate change.
