Overview
I am an Assistant Professor in the the School of Marine Sciences and a Cooperating Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maine. I'm also a faculty member in the Sustainability Solutions Initiative.
My interdisciplinary research examines the human dimensions of marine fisheries and coastal communities, focusing on the science and policy processes in the Northeast U.S. I am interested in (1) the role of participation and different forms of expertise in science and management, and (2) the interactions between policy-making and coastal communities, including the social and economic impacts of policy-making on fishing communities and the potential role of stakeholders in policy-making. For more details, please see my Research page.
I currently teach an undergraduate course in marine policy and fisheries management and a graduate seminar in marine policy. In addition, I advise graduate students in the School of Marine Sciences Marine Policy and Dual Marine Policy-Marine Biology degree programs.
