I have increasingly focused my research and professional efforts on the greatest existential threat we face: Climate Change.

I currently serve on the EGAP Climate Governance Steering Committee, and on the MIT Climate Policy Working Group.

I co-directed an MIT Grand Challenges White Paper Project on Reducing Group-Based Disparities in Climate Adaptation, which continues to inform much of my work in this space.

Recent projects and publications focused on the politics of responding to climate change include:

• Government Responses to Climate Change, with Michael Ross
• Social Proximity and Climate-Related Foreign Aid, with Volha Charnysh, Jared Kalow, and Erin Walk
• Ethnicity and Attitudes About Climate Change in Africa, with Devin Caughey and Preston Johnston

In addition, I attended the COP 28 Climate Conference in Dubai in Early December 2024.
