SERVICE
I hold tremendous gratitude toward the professional communities of which I am a part, so I make a point of contributing to them.

I teach in hopes of helping students discover how they might contribute most meaningfully to the world.
RESEARCH
My professional life centers on the environmental humanities—and, more particularly, on thinking through how people have understood and expressed their relations to the natural world.
