Her current research project investigates how private foundations affect marine conservation.

Together, we identified the following research questions:

  1. What roles do foundations play in marine conservation?
  2. What are best practices for managing donor exits in marine conservation?
  3. What happens to philanthropic-supported marine conservation agendas after donor exits, and how can we explain differences in outcomes?
  4. What do stakeholders and donors perceive as the legitimate role of foundations in marine conservation?

Areas: Ocean philanthropy; environmental justice; marine conservation governance systems
