About me
I study how policy design and the changing environment interact with individuals’ beliefs and attitudes to shape their behavior related to environmental policy. I am also more broadly interested in the ability of the public to hold their elected officials accountable, and how public opinion is shaped by disasters. While most of my work is based in the United States, I also work with a team studying climate change literacy across Africa.
My work has been published in journals such as The Journal of Politics, Nature Climate Change, and Political Behavior. You can now order or download my book here: Climate Games: Experiments on How People Prevent Disaster.

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Government at Cornell University. I was previously an assistant professor at the University of Connecticut. I earned my PhD in the department of Political Science at Stony Brook University in August of 2020.
