Samia Cohen is a writer, editor, teacher, public scholar, and creative practitioner with an interest in environmental storytelling, urban environmental history, and transgender studies. She is at work on a book manuscript, titled Impermeable: Stories of A Landfilled Urban Coast, that explores the hydrological legacy of Providence, Rhode Island, where Samia was born, and the life that free-flowing water has supported in the city across time. Samia also writes in an auto-theoretical vein on trans embodiment in relation to changing landscapes. She completed her PhD in American Studies at Brown in 2024.
