Expertise
Broadly speaking, my research spans environmental sociology, social movements, and gender. My dissertation addresses the organizational dynamics of new climate change movements and the impact of funding sources on movements’ strategic decision-making. Specifically, I interrogate the role and impact of philanthropy asking: what are the implications of climate movements relying upon funding from philanthropic foundations? In addition to my dissertation project, I have researched and written about air quality, environmental justice, and epistemology in Western Pennsylvania.
