Sustainability Leadership Fellowship Cohort: 2013-2014

Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Political Science

Research Summary: Environmental issues, such as renewable energy, fracking and climate change, are increasingly dotting our natural and political landscapes. As a political scientist focusing on state and local governments, I research many of these debates in the context of political power – whose has it, who wants it and even where it should optimally reside. While, many times my work leads to more questions than answers – it is clear that power matters and that improved environmental governance is possible. My work can be found in journals such as Review of Policy Research and Environmental Management.
