Research interests
From a sociological perspective, I am interested in the interdependence of social and ecological systems, particularly related to issues of equity and justice in the context of human health. Research topics include: theorizing the environment-society interface, environmental disproportionality at various spatial scales, environmental health inquality, environmental justice, technological environmental risk perception, collaborative dispute resolution in environmental disaster recovery and quantitative modeling methods. The vast majority of my work relies on large data computational social science approaches.
