Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)
Our research explores ways that equity, community, and social vulnerability are, or are not, considered when energy decisions are being made in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico Region. The project involves three areas of focus. First, we have explored current literature and are currently building out a manuscript to a journal. Additionally we will explore local governmental documents to learn what they say about energy equity, and build out methods to analyze these documents. Then, we will develop methods to analyze data about what actually happens in communities on the ground.
literature review, data collection, data analysis, conducting interviews
Awareness of social inequities (required); ability to navigate research databases (required); critical thinking (required); strong writing and communication skills (recommended)
I enjoy supporting new scholars in their journeys to become strong researchers. Our team works collaboratively to determine attainable goals, and we meet regularly to work together. Through this we develop meaningful relationships while students are able to learn through an interactive and engaging project.
