Danielle is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University. Her research addresses power and inequality in climate change decision-making. She has completed work at the UN climate negotiations examining disparities between Global North and Global South countries’ abilities to assert their priorities in climate texts. Her current work investigates the norms and priorities guiding the field of actors planning climate adaptation in Bangladesh: how finance is distributed, vulnerability is defined, knowledge is valued, and sustainability is imagined in interventions.
