My research uncovers the interconnected and complementary roles industry, policy, and capital markets play in contributing to both climate instability and solutions to climate change. As a trusted research collaborator and mentor, I’m dedicated to playing a small but meaningful part in this global transition.

FOSSIL FUEL DIVESTMENT

Do investors percieve divestment movements to be a financial risk to the share price of fossil fuel firms? I find through an event study analysis that prominent divestment announcements often result in negative abnormal deviations in fossil fuel share prices.

SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Can capital markets enable a low-carbon transition in the fossil fuel industry? Through a network analysis, I find that ten financial actors have inordinate influence over the governance of fossil fuel firms and must play a central role in enabling a low carbon transition.

SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT

Should Sustainability Management be a distinct field in management studies? Through a content analysis of over 63,000 publications, I argue YES! We hope this study informs emerging sustainability researchers on where the field of sustainability management is and may go.

CLIMATE AND ENERGY POLICY

Oil and gas production is impeding Canada from meeting its climate commitments. This policy brief outlines how the federal government continues to bolster fossil fuel development, and recommends specific policies to begin a phase out of oil and gas production.
