Research Interests
Most generally, I enjoy studying the relationship between science and environmental policy. I tend to focus on international issues such as global climate change and their policy implications including the development of renewable energies. Currently my thesis work involves looking at the perceptions and realized impacts of wind turbines in rural Ontario.
Why Western
I really have enjoyed my experience at UWO. My advisor has been awesome to work with and
the Geography department as a whole is a very social group of
people. The 1st year retreat, "talent" show and Christmas trivia
night (just to name a few) allowed me to learn the fundamentals of
grad school while meeting a great crew of students, faculty and
staff.
