Research Interests• Conservation social science—understanding the social facets of conservation planning through research using interviews, surveys and visual research methods.
• Culturally sensitive management—understanding cultural meanings and definitions of natural resources, especially protected areas so as to incorporate this in planning in order to mitigate conflict and maintain respect for cultural interests.
• Parks and Protected Areas (PPA) sustainability and management effectiveness—research to develop a greater understanding of how parks are successful in terms of their mission and values they protect.
• Environmental conflict and collaboration—research to develop information on patterns of successful collaboration, specifically in seemingly intractable conflict related to conservation areas
• Cultural memory—research designed to understand fixed points in history that define a narrative of a place or relationship to a place and perception of management and/or policy related to place.
• Vernacular conservation—research designed to understand the local, or vernacular definitions of importance of natural and cultural resources.
• Qualitative research methodology, specifically in gaining essential understanding in PPA management—use of narrative research, phenomenology, expert opinion interviews, photo elicitation and document research methods as they help answer questions in the general field of parks recreation and tourism.
• Environmental history and role in conservation planning — historical research related to PPA management.
• Human connection to nature—understanding and measuring different perceptions of connection to nature.
• Scale of place attachment—research to clarify different scales of place as defined by local residents, managers and other stakeholders of PPA and their surrounding areas.
