Curriculum Vitae
 

Biographical Sketch
Shannon Gibson received her Ph.D. in International Studies from the University of Miami in 2011. Her research focuses on the role of civil and “uncivil” society participation in transnational politics. As part of her dissertation, "Dynamics of Radicalization: The Rise of Radical Environmentalism against Climate Change,” she conducted field and participant observation research at a variety of international summits, including World Social Forums in Brazil and Senegal, the 2010 G20 Summit in Pittsburgh, and the United Nations climate negotiations in Denmark and Mexico in order to assess the impact of environmental social movements and activist networks. This work was supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Miami’s Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy. Shannon is also a volunteer researcher with the Global Justice Ecology Project, a Vermont-based environmental justice non-profit organization. This Spring she will be teaching courses on environmental politics (IR323), global order and disorder (IR382) and global public health (IR499).
