  Alicia Harley is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Sustainability Science Program at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Alicia studies how institutions (rules, norms, culture and beliefs) shape innovation systems and how innovation systems can be reoriented to meet sustainable development goals. Her empirical research focuses on agriculture and food systems. She has projects on agriculture practices, water delivery technologies, and rural energy. As part of her fellowship in the sustainability science program, she is working on two theory driven projects including one focused on conceptualizing the role of power and agency in sustainability science and a second on transitions to sustainable development. She uses a mix of qualitative and quantitative data, relying heavily on organizational behavior and institutional approaches in political science.
