Academic Profile:

The two streams of my research often flow together: Nature and Culture. In my environmental research, I explore how communication as a cultural force mediates human ecological relations. In my research on culture, I explore ways culture and communication intersect to generate and transform perceptions and practices.

Please see Research for examples.
