Costa Rica, directed student research team on 1) further study of agricultural land use decision-making; and 2)

comparative data on "nervios," a folk category of disease. In Ecuador, research on the economic exchanges and

social structural patterns of the San Juan fiesta (3 months).

poverty (one month).

of current farming methods (18 months).

determine long-term family strategies, goals, and resource endowments, and their relation to farm survival in the

national farm crisis (5 months).

SUBSEQUENT PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS: Primary focus from 1999 to 2019 was building momentum for cultural change at Emory toward sustainability.

Served as half-time Faculty Liaison to the Office of Sustainability Initiatives from 2006-2019. Projects included

curriculum development to infuse sustainability across the curriculum (the Piedmont Project programs for faculty

and graduate students, www.piedmont.emory.edu), co-chair of the university-wide Sustainable Food Committee

which recommended policy for Emory’s Sustainable Food Initiative in collaboration with Emory Dining and Emory

University Hospitals. The food committee also oversees the Educational Garden Project and Emory Farmers Market

and coordinates with the Oxford College Organic Farm (see www.sustainability.emory.edu/food;

https://youtu.be/g03AfrrO5hE.) Led development of the “Emory as Place” orientation and video for all new

graduate students, faculty, and newly-hired staff. Co-chair of Sustainability Faculty Council, Climate Action Plan

Committee, and Sustainability Strategic Plan Visioning Committees in 2005 and 2014-6. Duties included

orientation activities for new students, fund-raising and grant-related activities, expansion of community-engaged

learning for sustainability, and coordination with the executive committee of the Sustainability Minor.

Past efforts included building momentum at Emory as convener of the Ad Hoc Committee on Environmental

Stewardship; co-convener of the Faculty Green Lunch Group; and organizer of campus-wide environmental

stewardship workshop in 2000, development of the campus environmental walking tour brochure, Environmental

Mission Statement adoption, Emory College Energy Conservation Project, Campus Heritage and Stewardship

signage project, woods walk series, and the Baker Woodland invasives removal projects. Chaired the search for

Director of Sustainability Initiatives, served on Dining Contract advisory committee, and served as consultant to and

faculty for the Sustainability Leadership Certificate Program offered by Emory Continuing Education.

In the Atlanta region, began in 2004-5 to foster the development of the Atlanta Local Food Initiative (ALFI), whose

vision is a transformed food system in which every Atlantan has access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food

grown by a thriving regional network of sustainable farms and gardens. ALFI partners include farmers,

community gardeners, farmers markets, institutional buyers, food access advocates, environmentalists, academics,

health advocates, and governmental representatives (www.atlantalocalfood.org). ALFI is now folded into the

efforts of the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Food Well Alliance.

With the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), offered annual

workshops for faculty leaders on Sustainability across the Curriculum: The Piedmont and Ponderosa Models

(with Geoffrey W. Chase). Over 600 faculty leaders from over 300 institutions in the U.S., Canada, and foreign

countries have participated to date.

Sustainability-related research included multiple assessments of the impact of the Piedmont Project on faculty

teaching, research, and personal behavior. Interviews with faculty, civic leaders, community activists, and local food

system innovators around the country about sustainability leadership histories, environmental issues, engagement

with place, campus sustainable food initiatives, and changing daily practices. Convened conversations among

campus food project coordinators in diverse regions to explore common metrics. Explored the diverse languages

and temperaments of engagement in sustainability efforts and the role of local sustainability strategies to support

civic resilience, contemplative practices, and personal restoration.
