elcome. This
website is primarily intended to provide information about my
professional life. However, I have also included some personal
information, if you are interested.
I currently am
serving in a couple of positions at
Oklahoma State University in
Stillwater, Oklahoma.
First, I am
Director of the
Environmental Institute. Housed within a division of the Vice
President for Research and Technology Transfer, the Institute is
charged with encouraging environmental research among faculty at OSU.
We are investigating a redirection of our mission to one in
Sustainable Development.
I also serve as Director of the
Oklahoma Water
Resources Research Institute, which is funded by a US Geological
Survey research grant.
Second, I am
Director of the
Environmental Science Graduate Program. This transdisciplinary,
university-wide, program supports more than 100 graduate students
seeking MS or PhD degrees in Environmental Science. The Program is housed within the Graduate College at OSU.
Third, I am an
associate professor in the
Department of Political Science. I teach graduate courses in
environmental regulatory compliance, applied environmental risk
analysis, environmental management, emergency risk assessment, public
policy analysis, and community relations, as well as an undergraduate
course in American government.
My research interests
include stakeholder participation in environmental decision
making, watershed management,
enhanced life cycle assessment, risk-risk
tradeoffs associated with bioremediation of radionuclides, the
relationship between trust and political participation preferences,
and environmental injustice to Native Americans.
