Research


My research sits at the intersection of environmental management, political theory, and resilience thinking. Broadly, I examine how communities, sectors, and regions navigate rapid change and uncertainty, and how policies, institutions, and industry can support healthy and sustainable futures.

In both research and teaching, I work with social-ecological perspectives, long-term thinking, and an experimental, practice-informed approach. This often involves integrating academic and practitioner knowledge through transdisciplinary collaboration.

For organizations, developing a social-ecological understanding is increasingly central to effective and sustainable governance. It provides the contextual grounding needed to assess how decisions generate value across different scales and systems. Approaches to shared value, performance measurement, and threshold-based assessments are most meaningful when they are connected to the broader social and ecological systems in which organizations operate.
