Short bio
I am associate
professor in the
Department of Public and
International Affairs at
George Mason University
(with a joint appointment in the
Department of Environmental Science
and Policy). I teach courses on environmental
policy and politics and on
research methods and data analysis.
My research
addresses various aspects of environmental policy, including community-based conservation, the management of so-called wicked
environmental problems, and the bureaucratic lifecycles of environmental agencies.
I have a PhD in environmental policy
from the University
of Maryland
(2000). Before studying environmental issues, I taught English for more than 20 years
in the
inner-city
alternative public high schools of Albany, NY.
