Richard Stedman is a natural resource / environmental sociologist. He
joined the department in 2007, following six years as a faculty member in
the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology at Penn State
University. His research and teaching interests lie at the interface of
coupled human and ecological systems, and how the conditions and well-being
of each system influences the other.
Research
His current research activity examines (i) the sustainability of
resource-dependent communities, especially as they transition to natural
resource-based tourism development; (ii) environmental risk perception and
management at the community level; (iii) causes and consequences of land-use
change along a gradient from very rural to very urban systems, with an
emphasis on the urban-rural fringe; (iv) natural resource-based decision
making among private (agricultural and forest) landowners; and (v)
socio-ecological factors that underlie attachment to place and foster
subsequent environmental behavior.
