In August, Dr. Samantha Mosier presented a co-authored paper at the American Political Science Association’s Annual Meeting in Boston Massachusetts. The paper, “A Moving Target Concept: Citizens, Partisanship, and Defining Sustainability”, examines how the American public defines the term ‘sustainability’ and compares the results against existing theoretical conceptualizations for the term. This research extends Dr. Mosier’s work on the politics and policy of sustainability.
