  • by Joanna I Kaminski

Zoa’s research examines the intersectional impacts of climate change on racially, socioeconomically, and environmentally marginalized communities in California’s Central Valley. Using mixed methods, her study explores how language and public policy shape climate perceptions and outcomes while also contributing to debates about the role of quantitative methods in intersectional research. Zoa's mentor is Professor Veronica Lerma.
