Areas of Research

My primary research interest is in inequality, particularly at the critical nexus of health, gender, and the environment. I hone in on this intersection through hazards and disaster studies. Currently I study extreme heat, examining its health impacts on vulnerable populations, such as pregnant people and youth. My work on extreme heat aims to contribute healthier, more sustainable, and resilient communities. While disasters and extreme heat are my main areas of research, I have also studied innovative and high-impact teaching methods that engage student learning.
