Research Interests
My research looks at collective action through an institutional lens. I am intrigued by the
connections among actors and institutions within networks of regional governance, and
how these lead to patterns of community organizing, environmental management, and
public policy. I am especially interested in how current administrative and policy
arrangements will adapt to emerging water pollution and availability issues, impacts of
climate change on natural resources, and community-based sustainability initiatives.
