Author of "Perceptions of Contentiousness: How Individual Traits Shape Environmental Policy Conflicts"

February 12, 2020

Dr. Olofsson specializes in environmental and energy policy. She uses a comparative research design to focus on the dynamics of policy coalitions and networks of policy actors engaged in policy making. She is a former National Science Foundation (NSF) Sustainability Research Networks AirWaterGas Student Research Fellow and an NSF Research Coordination Networks Sustainable Cities Student Fellow. She explores differentiation in institutional settings to better understand how the people involved in the policy process shape policy outcomes. Her research questions the rational capabilities of policy actors and questions how decisions are made in contentious politics. Dr. Olofsson often uses survey data to explore political behavior and utilizes network analysis and geospatial modeling.
