Executive Committee

James Farmer

Associate Professor, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs

Phone:: (812) 856-0969
Email:: jafarmer@indiana.edu
Website:: http://www.farmerresearchlab.org/

Dr. Farmer serves as the Chair of IPE's Executive Committee. His research lab is focused on sustainable agriculture and associated local food systems, as well as private land conservation and land trusts. Current projects focus on the use of high tunnels to provide year-round local foods; active management of private lands for ecosystem services; and climate change, municipal parks, and long term planning for adaptive management.

Michael Hamburger

Professor, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences

Phone:: 812-855-2934
Email:: hamburg@indiana.edu
Website:: http://geology.indiana.edu/hamburger/

Dr. Hamburger's major research interests are in seismotectonics, dynamics of earthquake and volcanic processes, and application of satellite geodetic measurements to geodynamic problems. He has active research programs in the subduction zone environment of the Philippine island arc and the intraplate environment of the central U.S.

Michael Shawn Hendryx

Professor, Environmental and Occupational Health

Phone:: (812) 856-8875
Email:: hendryx@indiana.edu
Website:: https://info.publichealth.indiana.edu/faculty/current/hendryx-michael.shtml

Professor Hendryx's research interests focus on health disparities for disadvantaged populations. I am especially interested in the impacts of uneven environmental exposures faced by socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. I am also interested in studies of environmental policy.

Ellen Ketterson

Distinguished Professor, Biology

Phone:: (812) 855-6837
Email:: ketterso@indiana.edu
Website:: https://biology.indiana.edu/about/faculty/ketterson-ellen.html

A distinguished professor of biology, Professor Ketterson is also the Director of the Environmental Resilience Institute and co-leader of their Movement Ecology working group. Professor Ketterson's research addresses how animal behavior interfaces with evolution and ecology by focusing on a common songbird, the dark-eyed junco. Inspired by the junco's classic history in the study of speciation and photoperiodism and trusting that an integrative approach to behavior that included mechanism and function would yield insights, her lab asks questions about migratory behavior, mating systems, and the evolution of hormone-mediated phenotypic traits.

Sylvia Martinez

Associate Professor, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies

Phone:: (812) 856-8582
Email:: symartin@indiana.edu
Website:: https://education.indiana.edu/about/directory/profiles/martinez-sylvia.html

In the past, Professor Martinez's research focused on issues of engagement in school. More specifically, her work examined whether Latino youth were academically challenged in their high school courses and whether students viewed these challenges as positive or negative. Currently, she is working on two lines of inquiry. The first examines where and how Latino/a students get information about the college application process, and the second explores how Latino ethnic identity among Latino/a undergraduates impacts participation at the Latino cultural center on campus.

Sarah Osterhoudt

Assistant Professor, Anthropology

Phone:: 812-855-0871
Email:: srosterh@indiana.edu
Website:: http://www.indiana.edu/~anthro/people/faculty/srosterh.shtml

Professor Osterhoudt's research examines the relationships between people, the environment, and global trade systems, especially within agricultural and agro-ecological landscapes. She asks: what are the connections between the cultivation of land and the cultivation of self?

Andrew Predmore

Director of Sustainability

Phone:: (812) 855-2818
Email:: sapredmo@indiana.edu
Website:: https://spea.indiana.edu/faculty-research/directory/profiles/faculty/part-time/predmore-andrew.html

Andrew Predmore is the Director of Sustainability at Indiana University, where he is responsible for cultivating the 2020 Transitions Lab (IU's take on the national living-learning laboraty model for sustainability teaching and learning). The Transitions Lab fosters collaboration between university operations, academics, and the Hoosier community to accelerate student learning and sustainability. At IU, Predmore teaches a course in sustainability research methods for the 2020 Sustainability Scholars program, which involves freshmen and sophomores in research on sustainability.

Kan Shao

Assistant Professor, Environmental and Occupational Health

Phone:: (812) 855-2725
Email:: kshao@indiana.edu
Website:: http://pages.iu.edu/~kshao/pages/interests.html

Dr. Shao's recent research has been focused on advancing human health risk assessment to support environmental policy making, with a special interest in improving dose-response assessment through innovative statistical and analytical methodologies. Additionally, he is working on a project to quantitatively estimate health risk imposed by rice consumption in support of food safety regulation making.

Lisa Sideris

Professor, Department of Religious Studies

Phone:: (812) 855-3531
Email:: lsideris@indiana.edu

Professor Sideris's research focuses on environmental ethical issues at the intersection of religion and culture, and particularly at the intersection of religious and scientific worldviews. Her interests include the conflict and compatibility between Darwinian perspectives on nature and natural processes, and religious-ethical claims about the natural world and its value.

Philip Stevens

Professor, O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs

Phone:: (812) 856-0863
Email:: pstevens@indiana.edu
Website:: http://www.indiana.edu/~atmoslab/home.php

Professor Stevens' research interests focus on characterizing the chemical mechanisms in the atmosphere that influence regional air quality and global climate change. Much of his group's research is focused on improving our understanding of the influence of biogenic emissions and their oxidation products on the chemistry of the atmosphere.
