Community Engagement

As public policy scholars, I believe two steps are necessary for our research to produce change. First, communicating our findings widely, including outside of academic journals. Second, building democratic coalitions to enact policy change. As such, both public engagement and political advocacy are integral parts of my role as a researcher. I have presented at a variety of conferences and workshops, and worked with local organizations dedicated to climate justice, economic empowerment, and coalition building. Selected talks and press coverage are linked below.
