Associate Professor, Natural Resources and the Environment
Steven Wolf teaches and conducts research on environmental governance (i.e., interplay of state and non-state actors in environmental (mis)management). His research advances critical institutional analysis applied to agriculture, forests and environmental change. Recent collaborations with students and postdoctoral researchers focus on India, China, Mexico, and USA. Current work centers on analysis of accountability relations and lack thereof.
