Education:

Ph.D. - Oregon State University, 1996, Forest Resources
M.A. - Duke University, 1990, Cultural Anthropology
B.A. - Pomona College, 1985, Anthropology

Professional Experience:

2002-present Associate Professor, University of Idaho
2000-2002 Assistant Professor, University of Idaho
1997-2000 Assistant Professor, Virginia Tech, Department of Forestry

Areas of Interest:

Recreation planning and management: Developing creative ways to bring stakeholders together to solve challenges created by increasing demand and sociocultural changes. In particular: (1) understanding the nature of wilderness experiences and helping managers devise acceptable management alternatives for high-use destinations; and (2) working with multiple stakeholders and land managers to understand trends and management alternatives for dispersed and developed recreation sites. Recent research includes

v Displacement of recreational visitors in wilderness and developed settings.

v Trends in boater characteristics, attitudes, and experiences in Hells Canyon.

v Customer service, satisfaction, and value in the commercial whitewater rafting industry.

v Extraordinary experiences among visitors to the Dalton Highway in Alaska.

Public understanding of natural resource science: Investigating how different stakeholders conceptualize science and the role they believe science should play in resolving complex resource management problems; studying how boundary-maintaining discourse is used to empower and disenfranchise policy actors. Recent research includes:

v The use of science discourses in debates about endangered salmon recovery.

v Public perceptions of the risks and benefits of aquaculture.

Communication and persuasion: Investigating effective modes of communicating with the public; understanding how individual traits affect the search for and uptake of information by park visitors. Current research includes:

v Attention capture and holding power of signs at Yosemite National Park.

v The effect of moral and fear appeals on park visitor’s beliefs about feeding wildlife.

v The effect of audio tours at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

 Honors and awards:
 

  • College of Natural Resources Outstanding Research Award. 2005.
  • University of Idaho Alumni Award for Excellence. 2004
