Personal profile
Artistic and research interests
My research work uses futures studies approaches, aiming at exploring sustainable futures and pathways to reduce the environmental impact of our present food system from global to farm scale. I am interested in using a combination of social sciences and technical research approaches including visioning workshops, cognitive mapping, quantitative food system assesments, transition pathway mapping and design. I characterize myself as an interdisciplinary generalist rather than a specialist in any discipline, which means that I enjoy bringing people from different disciplines together for interdisciplinary research and education.
My present teaching and mentoring activities take place within the Sustainable Global Technologies program.
