Areas of Interest and Select Publications
An anthropologist by training, and inter-disciplinarian by design, I concentrate on questions of environmental values, risk perception, risk and culture, and/or justice, biodiversity and environmental management.
My work concentrates upon four somewhat overlapping areas of investigation.
The cultural, social, and regulatory management of the risks of hazardous, new and emerging technologies (primarily biotechnologies and nanotechnologies).
