Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, Florida State University
My teaching and research are primarily in the field of collaborative environmental planning and management. I teach courses in environmental planning, food systems planning, collaborative governance, and planning theory. My research explores how to enhance social-ecological resilience of human-natural systems through collaborative governance. In the realm of natural resources, I have focused on how to engage in collaborative planning and management at multiple spatial scales and levels of governance to enhance social-ecological resilience through ecological restoration. Since my arrival in Florida, I have been examining planning responses to climate adaptation in the face of sea level rise. Finally, I seek to identify effective ways to navigate transitions toward more locally oriented food systems and to explore how such systems contribute to community resilience.
