As part of my transnational research agenda and ongoing collaborations, I founded the Sustainability, Equity, Action Lab (SEA Lab), which has been supported by funds from the Nippon Foundation and Ocean Nexus Program at the University of Washington. The link to our work can be found here. Happily, as of the beginning of the 2024 school year, the SEA Lab will be officially housed within the University of North Carolina-Wilmington Department of Sociology, but with continued financial and resource support from the Nippon Foundation Ocean Nexus Program.

Do you like newsletters/blogs? My newsletter/blog corresponds to what you will find on my website under the “News & Thoughts” page, but I also use it as a landing page for other preliminary thoughts on a variety of topics of interest to me, from academia, to urbanism, to photography, baseball, and more. I would embed the newsletter to this site, but, well, that requires me to pay more money for “business class” Squarespace. Not a chance.
