BIO
Dr. Coleman is a broadly trained social scientist interested in human dimensions of natural resources, including issues related to the planning and management of public land, recreation planning, recreation management, environmental justice, and environmental education.
From 2018 to 2022, Dr. Coleman was a faculty member in the Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh. She joined the faculty in the Rubenstein School in 2023.
Over the course of Dr. Coleman's career, she has worked to build a research agenda that focuses largely on the geographic areas of the Northern Forest Region and the Lake Champlain Basin, although not all her work fits neatly into the boundaries of those two regions. She seeks to pursue research that is useful for both practitioners and scholars alike, and frequently collaborates with partners from state and federal agencies, as well as local land managers and regional non-profits.
Dr. Coleman is always looking for student researchers, get in touch with her if you're curious about pursuing undergraduate student research or a graduate degree!
