研究领域
I have a broad interest in the social aspects of coastal and marine policy and the way natural resource management impact resource users and resource dependent communities. I am particularly interested in human adaptations to environmental changes both natural and anthropogenic, especially in the context of fisheries and fishing communities. I have been using interdisciplinary methods to investigate aspects of socio-economic change among U.S. Northeast fishermen for over 8 years. Prior to moving to the U.S. I studied Brazilian small-scale fishermen’s perceptions of environmental changes under ‘shifting baseline’ theory. Other specific areas of interest are resilience and vulnerability of socio-ecological systems in the context of natural hazards and climate change. I love teaching and engaging with students about current complex issues in marine and coastal conservation and management.
