Myles Bowen '21
Myles Kobe Bowen is a young scholar from Texas, studying Biological Anthropology and International Studies with a concentration in Economic Development in North Africa and the Middle East. As a Black man, Myles has dedicated his studies to addressing issues of institutionalized difference and social death on a national level as well as internationally as he situates himself and his work within Black communities within the United States and within Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia. Additionally, Myles plans on continuing his education in graduate school, aspiring to obtain a PhD in Anthropology and J.D. with which he will focus on Environmental law. Combined, Myles Kobe Bowen hopes to use these degrees and his research to highlight the ways in which environmental racism perpetuates the social death experienced by many Black populations domestically and abroad and eventually use this information as an organizing point to draft improved legislation.
