Research Interests
I am primarily interested in the human-nature relationship. Currently, I am interested in researching the duality of our nature connection. On the one (more positive) hand: how nature engagement affects various aspects of well-being, how to enhance nature connectedness to foster environmental concern, etc. On the other (more existential) hand: understanding why it is humans are sometimes hesitant to accept their fundamental connection with nature, why we might avoid accepting the realities of climate change, etc.
