Greetings! I am an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Purdue University and a member of the university's Building Sustainable Communities cluster. I received my PhD in Public Policy from Harvard University and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Colorado's Institute of Behavioral Science.
My research focuses on the human dimensions of sustainable development policy. I am interested in questions of inequality, participation, deliberation, procedural justice, collective action, and public goods provision, particularly with respect to natural resource dilemmas in developing countries. I advocate a multi-method approach to research that combines rigorous experimental and quantitative analysis with a rich, qualitative understanding of local context. My work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and published in policy-oriented peer-reviewed journals, such as Nature Climate Change, Nature Sustainability, Ecological Economics, World Development, and Environmental Science & Policy, as well as top disciplinary outlets, such as the American Journal of Political Science, the British Journal of Political Science, and Public Administration Review. |
