Social aspects

My teaching and research focus on the social and political aspects of conservation, with an emphasis on rural communities and public lands in the Northern Rockies. I serve as the Director of the Resource Conservation Program and as Associate Professor of Natural Resource Social Science in the Department of Society and Conservation. I teach NRSM 121S, Nature of Montana, NRSM 370S, Wildland Conservation Policy and Governance, and NRSM 570, Political Ecology.
