Eric Lee Morgan

Associate Professor, Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences

Research Description

Dr. Morgan's research focuses on the question of how diverse communities come to understand and interact with the environments in which they live. This research agenda draws together investigations of culture, communication, and environment to yield deeper understandings of cultural discourses of environment. Another key aspect of Dr. Morgan's research agenda is focused on how science is communicated to broad audiences. Dr. Morgan will also soon serve as the Graduate Program Coordinator for the ALEC program in the College of ACES.
