My overall research program is to identify pathways toward sustainability, and develop communication models and products that help materialize these pathways. This takes a broad view of sustainability that includes improving social relations as well as our relation with the natural environment. It also reflects a focus both on developing theory and applying it to specific focal topics. Fields of interest include environmental communication, behavior change, and program design and evaluation. Focal topics include sustainable food transitions (e.g., protein transition; plant-based eating) and protecting vulnerable populations (e.g., child protection; human-animal relations).
