BIO

My research focusses on work that will: 
 
  • Work to improve humans individual and societal relationships with animals and nature and meaningfully reduce our impacts.
  • Increase moral consideration for non-human animals and enable their flourishing; and,
  • Rapidly increasing levels of climate action to achieve a safe climate.
 
I am interested in how our knowledge of and experiences, values, and relationships with nonhuman animals and nature shapes science, the environment, and society. For animals this includes investigating issues like how concern for animals informs environmental values and practice, how to build understanding of animal perspective, and how animal use in science (lab, field, and education) impacts people and animals. For climate action this includes describing models of action, understanding motivations and barriers to action, and attempting to increase peoples participation and support of effective climate action.
 
My research takes a social science approach which includes the use of survey, interview, and content analysis methods (among others).
 
I welcome people to get in touch for a chat If any of this sounds interesting
