Biography: My research focuses on recent American environmental history and environmental studies. I am particularly interested in the ways interactions between humans and the environment have changed the landscape of political and security challenges facing the United States since the end of World War II. My first book, Food Security, explored how understandings of world food problems shifted during the late twentieth century. I am currently at work on a book project that examines the environmental history of the American food system from 1945 to 2000. I am also the co-editor of two books that examine challenges to human security: Global Environmental Change and Human Security and Landmines and Human Security: International Politics and War’s Hidden Legacy. My articles and reviews have appeared in Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, Environment, The Environmental Change and Security Project Report, Global Environmental Politics, and The Natural Resources Journal, among others. I am a Fellow of the International Center for the Study of Terrorism at The Pennsylvania State University and a member of the Advisory Board of the Center for Unconventional Security Affairs at the University of California, Irvine.
