Faye Shen Li Thijssen
Ph.D. Student in Environmental Social Sciences, admitted Autumn 2025
BioFaye is a PhD student in Environmental Social Sciences. Her research focuses on the political economy of the environment with a particular emphasis on how transnational corporations shape climate politics through their global political, social, and economic embeddedness. More specifically, she is currently investigating the extent to which the increasing material costs of climate vulnerabilities influence the power dynamics between pollutive industrial corporations (as employers) and the climate policy preferences of workers in these industries.
Prior to coming to Stanford, her research focused on indirect corporate influence in environmental politics, investigating executional greenwashing and its potential to affect public perceptions and preferences for regulatory policy. This research primarily employed experimental methods, with support from the Oxford Department of Politics & International Relations and the Nuffield Centre for Experimental Social Sciences.
