Socially Relevant Scholarship

In a congressional hearing on June 21, 2023., U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D/RI) showed a poster with data from "Obstructing action: Foundation funding and US climate change counter-movement organizations," a paper published with my Climate Social Science Network (CSSN) colleagues Robert Brulle, Galen Hall and Kennedy Schell-Smith.

In 2019, I was an invited panelist at the Rhodes Center for International Economics & Finance conference “America’s Climate Change Future: Housing Markets, Stranded Assets, and Entrenched Interests,” hosted by the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society at Brown University, where I talked about the long-term influence of the Tea Party movement on climate policy.

In 2020, I was invited to talk about the way sociology can help the natural world and about my personal path from nonprofit work to academia on the Sociology & Animals Podcast. You can listen to this episode here.
