Department: Earth Systems Science 

Stephanie Fischer is a Ph.D. student with the Behavioral Decisions and the Environment group with Dr. Gabrielle Wong-Parodi. She holds a B.S. in Earth Systems and B.A. in Music Composition from Stanford University. She is interested in community-led solutions that help build resilience and environmental justice in the face of natural hazards and disasters, and identifies institutions and interventions that may support and scale these solutions. She is also interested in the ways culture, identity, language and place are important to develop effective messaging during emergency situations and cultivating resilience alongside climate resilience. Stephanie's methods are grounded in collaborative community-engaged research designs, grounded qualitative analysis, and critical environmental justice frameworks.
