I use collective action, public policy, and political science methods and a linguistic approach
called the Institutional Grammar to study how the design of institutions (e.g., rules, regulations,
policies) can better influence decision-making, policy implementation, and outcomes. My current
projects address complex, cross-jurisdictional, social-ecological governance challenges,
including international biodiversity conservation, digital knowledge commons, and regional/local
sustainability efforts.
