Anna Lee

Bio

Anna's research interests are in how people learn about and make decisions related to food and waste. She draws theory and methods from environmental education and social psychology in her attempts to understand the factors that influence engagement in pro-environmental behavior and how people understand and interpret their actions in relation to the environment.

Before coming to E-IPER, Anna worked as a research assistant at the Woods Institute’s Program on Food Security and the Environment, and then explored the world of organic agriculture and farming education through apprenticeships and farm work on the Central Coast of California.

Anna did her undergraduate work at Stanford, where she earned a BS and an MS in Earth Systems, and a BS in Anthropological Sciences. She also holds a Certificate in Ecological Horticulture from the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at UCSC, and an MS in Agroecology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
