First, through research that examines the different ways that participants in environmental decision-making processes conceive the notion of sustainability and how this influences problem solving, including power relationships, authority and responsibility among participants. Second, through networks-based research in which I use surveys and interviews to illustrate social-ecological systems and uncover gaps in funding and policy networks that lead to ineffective or inefficient management of environmental challenges. Third, through participatory decision-making workshops that aim to enhance the inclusion and roles of diverse perspectives in environmental decision-making processes within non-profit organizations and government agencies.
