I am an associate professor at the University of Utah's Department of Political Science, Director of the University's Programs of Public Affairs,  and affiliated faculty with the Global Change and Sustainability Center.

 

My research examines public policy and administration across a range of contexts, from organic food regulation in the U.S., to child welfare services, and climbers' advocacy and resource stewardship. I teach classes in public policy, policy analysis, research design, and the intersection of governance and the economy.
