I work on new institutions for addressing complex social and environmental challenges. I am currently a Senior Fellow at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs and Director of the Initiative on Environment in Global Affairs. I am also a co-founder of The Institutional Architecture Lab, where we are advancing the practice and theory of institutional design; and a Visiting Senior Fellow at Artha Global.

I'm (slowly) writing a book about the trajectory of our species' relationship with non-human nature - and the institutions we'll need to avoid the worst kinds of anthropocene. Small topics like how we can get our collective intelligence together to sense and respond to the changes around us (that we are contributing to but also have dynamics of their own) in ways that are more ... humane.
