Personal profile
About
My scholarship focuses on bringing local and expert knowledge together in collaborative, democratic ways to produce innovative solutions to controversial problems of collective action. I am particularly interested in civic dialogue about problems of energy, sustainability, and climate change. At present, I am a full-time faculty member in the Department of Environmental Studies at Western Washington University. My undergraduate education was in Electrical Engineering. I also have a Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Ph.D. in interdisciplinary studies from Clark University. For two years I did post-doctoral research at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. I have been a Fellow of the Breuninger Foundation at the University of Stuttgart on the topic of cooperation and a Fulbright Scholar at Pondicherry University in India on the topic of biodiversity conservation.
