Chaone Mallory	PhD/ENVS 2006
Most recent work: Assistant Professor of Environmental Philosophy, Villanova University Chaone Mallory is Assistant Professor of Environmental Philosophy at Villanova University. Her teaching and research specializations include environmental ethics, environmental philosophy, ecofeminism, environmental justice, and green political theory. Dr. Mallory is engaged in the development of a field of practical enquiry that can be described as ecofeminist political philosophy. Such a field investigates ways that feminist, postmodern, phenomenological, queer, and critical race theories can contribute to the ecofeminist project of achieving improved models and methods of political and legal representation for the more-than-human world. A second major area of research includes the ways that analyses and critiques of gender, race, class, sexuality, and speciesism emerge through the direct theoretical praxis of women's activist collectives in forested communities in the Pacific Northwest.
Patrick Hurley	PhD/ENVS 2004 MS/ENVS 2001
Most recent work: Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, Ursinus College Dr. Hurley’s research investigates the implications that land-use change associated with urbanization and resultant politics have for natural resource-based livelihoods and practices, conservation practice, and ecological governance. His research employs ethnography and GIS to explore this intersection. Current projects include research that: assesses the consequences of urbanization for sweetgrass basket-makers in greater Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina (with Cari Goetcheus, Clemson); examines the role of amenity migrants in conservation efforts in western Turkey (with Dr. Yılmaz Arı, Balikesir University); explores suburban gathering in the Philadelphia metropolitan area; and examines ecological governance in conservation developments in South Carolina, California, and Oregon. I am also currently working on a book manuscript that examines land-use politics in Oregon (with Dr. Peter Walker, Oregon).
Tony Leiserowitz	PhD/ENVS 2003 MS/ENVS 1998
Most recent work: Director of Strategic Initiatives & Research Scientist, Yale University, School of Forestry and Environmental Studies Dr. Leiserowitz's research examines the role of underlying psychological, socio-cultural, and geographic factors in risk perception, decision-making and behavior. Recent projects include a series of survey and experimental studies at the state, national, and global scales on public risk perceptions and responses to global climate change; an examination of global values, attitudes and behaviors regarding sustainable development; and the theoretical development and empirical demonstration of distinct "interpretive communities of risk" among the American public.
