Welcome to my page! I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in Purdue's Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in Dr. Zhao Ma's Human Dimensions lab. I apply a mixed-methods social science approach and an environmental justice framework to addresses the following questions:
1. How can practitioners and policymakers increase public participation in policy-making on climate, environmental, and agricultural policy?
2. How can practitioners and policymakers design policy-processes that are more inclusive of marginalized populations?
3. What roles do NGOs and other community-level institutions play in fostering (or hindering) participation in policymaking for environmental and food justice?
Areas of Expertise:
Environmental Justice and Policy, Qualitative Methods, Survey Design, Community Development, Migration, Public Participation, Agriculture, Civil Society, Adaptation, Climate Change, Natural Resource Social Science
Recent Publications:
Erwin, A., & Stephenson, M. (2019). Farmworker Justice, Faith, and Governance: A Critical Realist Analysis of one FBO’s Participatory Initiative. Administrative Theory & Praxis, 1-18.
Select Articles Under Review:
Erwin, A., Ma, Z., Popovici, R., Salas, P., Zanotti, L., Zebellos, E., Bauchet, J., Ramirez, N., Arce, G. Intersectionality shapes adaptation to social-ecological change. World Development.
Erwin, A. FBOs: Partners in coalitions for food systems justice. Local Environment.
