I'm particularly interested in local and community-based institutions for land and forest management, promises and perils of forest-based climate solutions, and sustainability and justice in social-ecological systems.
Current projects include research on: reforestation governance in the Ngabe-Bugle Comarca, Panama; community forestry dynamics and impacts on forests and livelihoods in Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam; and community forests as innovative governance models for rural prosperity in the United States.
