Loredana Loy is a PhD candidate in sociology at Cornell University. She is interested in how cultural ideas interact with systems of power and politics to shape environmental policy and emerging transformative macro-trends. Her dissertation research refracts the challenge of environmental governance through the prism of stalled climate action, while in a new stream of research she focuses on the processes that affect the transition to a more sustainable consumption system.
