RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Research A
Overview  

I am a hazards and disaster researcher and social scientist concerned about environmental injustices, particularly those related to climate change. My past research has critically analyzed disaster resilience initiatives and federal disaster policy and argues that these measures reproduce social inequalities. Currently, I am part of a team of researchers measuring and evaluating climate adaptation capacity in small cities. We are interested in adaptation and its connections to (in)justice. This project is funded by the National Academies Gulf Research Program.

I have taught the following courses: Hazards, Disasters, and Society (online), and Environment & Society (online). I have conducted recitations and given guest lectures for the following: Food & Society, Global Human Ecology, Qualitative Research Methods, and Social Theory. 

Special Courses

 I developed special courses on community resilience to hazards and disasters and climate change adaptation. Both of these courses are taught through a lens of equity and social justice.
