My research and scholarly interests concentrate on environmental and cultural sustainability. Current research focuses on a small lake-based community in upstate New York, USA. This historical ecology and local history examines cultural and ecological transformations over time and how cultural worldviews affect human understandings of and interactions with the natural environment. This work is contextualized within the global social, political and economic factors of sustainability. Additional advocacy-based research includes the creation of the Green Campus Initiative at the college, participation in the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education and the New England Consortium in Sustainability Practices. Previous field research concentrated on social and religious interactions in north India.
