Company: Weber State University
Position: Professor of Sociology
I teach sociology at a primarily undergraduate university, a teaching and learning school. Among other classes, I teach an environmental and natural resource sociology course, and have also taught the sociology of water. My research has focused on Great Salt Lake, and in studies working with undergraduate students, on perspectives about water, water use and conservation here on campus. I have been a member of IASNR since 2002.
