Research Interests
My research area lies at the intersection of
coastal adaptation, climate justice, and land use policy. Through my
dissertation, I want to explore how federal disaster recovery and mitigation
programs influence land use at the local level in the coastal zone, with an
emphasis on housing and social justice.
