Clare E. B. Cannon
I am an interdisciplinary scholar in the Department of Human Ecology in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis, researching the intersections of social and environmental systems. I am delighted to serve as the Interim Director for the UC Davis Institute of the Environment, where we have launched our new strategic plan, Transforming Environmental Futures.
My research areas include studying environmental and climate justice, gender inequality, and health disparities in urban, rural, and disaster contexts. I have three major lines of inquiry in my research program: (1) examining environmental injustices, risks and hazards; (2) advancing climate adaptation; and (3) investigating health disparities related to resilience, stress, and violence. I do this by using a diverse array of approaches including community-engaged, quantitative, spatial, and qualitative methods.
