Sara Dant is Presidential Distinguished Professor and Chair of History at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Her work focuses on environmental politics in the United States with a particular emphasis on the creation and development of consensus and bi-partisanism. Dant's latest book is a new, completely revised edition of Losing Eden: An Environmental History of the American West (2023, University of Nebraska Press) with a foreword by former NM Senator Tom S. Udall (son of Stewart Udall). She is also an advisor and interviewee for Ken Burns' The American Buffalo documentary film (October 2023), the author of several prize-winning articles on western environmental politics, a precedent-setting Expert Witness Report and Testimony on Stream Navigability upheld by the Utah Supreme Court (2017), and co-author of the two-volume Encyclopedia of American National Parks (2004) with Hal Rothman. An avid outdoor enthusiast and native westerner, Dant divides her time between northern Utah and the Galisteo River Valley outside Santa Fe, New Mexico.
