Alaina Kinol (nee Boyle)

I am a doctoral candidate researching public policy approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation with a focus on transformation and justice in multiple sectors.
My dissertation research, funded by a NIH T32 pre-doctoral traineeship, examines how community advocates and fossil fuel corporations negotiate power in the climate policy process through advocacy and obstruction, and how their interactions enable (or constrain) climate-just transformational policy.
