I study attitudes, attitude change, emotion, decision making, and social influence, specifically applied to the domains of gender, sexuality, politics, and environmental sustainability.

My current research involves questions of environmental sustainability. I am interested in attitudes toward sustainability, the sociocognitive processes related to those attitudes, social influence on those attitudes and behaviors, and applications of persuasive methods for changing sustainability attitudes and behaviors.

I hope to extend this research to the realm of industry in terms of questions of corporate responsibility. I am interested in the influence consumers have on corporations as well as the influence corporations have on consumers in terms of environmental sustainability.
