About Me |
I am an Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Policy in Chapman University's Environmental Science and Policy program. I received my Ph.D at the University of California, Santa Barbara's Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, and am a former USIP Peace Scholar Fellow.
My research both investigates how environmental problems affect political behavior and asks how we can design institutions to broaden the provision of environmental goods and services. For example, some of my work shows how air pollution undermines broad-based political participation in the United States. My new book project explores how United Nations peacekeeping operations can promote the cooperative management of shared natural resources in a climate-changed world. I have been fortunate enough to publish research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory and International Peacekeeping, and my research has been supported by organizations like the Folke Bernadotte Academy. |
