Johnson Marine Social Science Lab
Trained in human ecology and applied anthropology, Dr. Teresa Johnson‘s marine social science research is focused on understanding the implications of social, ecological, and institutional change facing individuals and communities and how they respond to them. Her work looks at the intersection of communities and policy within coupled marine social-ecological systems, including how policies impact communities and how communities can impact policies. She has published in the areas of marine fisheries, aquaculture, renewable energy, cooperative research, transdisciplinary research, and community resilience. Current projects in the Johnson lab focus on marine shellfish and seaweed aquaculture and offshore wind development.
Members of the Johnson lab include graduate students in the School of Marine Sciences’ Marine Policy program and in the Ecology and Environmental Sciences (EES) graduate program, as well as undergraduate research assistants, including those working on Honors and capstone projects.
