Bio:
Hello, my name is Ethan Hensel.
I am a senior student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I am pursuing my degree in geography with an emphasis in geology, and I am minoring in legal studies. My research interests are driven by a deep interest in understanding the physical environment and its implications for communities within the legal framework. Currently, I am exploring issues relating to indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice.
Outside of the lab, I enjoy running, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy travelling. I am fortunate to have been able to travel to several countries including Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. I hope to travel to many more places in the future
