Dr. Hopping studies how environmental and social changes are affecting ecosystems and rural livelihoods, particularly in mountain and pastoral regions. Please contact her via email if you are interested in pursuing an advanced degree related to these themes at Boise State.
Haley focuses on the application of social science theory to natural resource issues. Specifically, she currently seeks to understand public perceptions of landscapes and wildlife, how and why they differ, and their role in natural resource management.

Alumni
Callie Puntenney MS Biology (2022)
Callie researches the structure and dynamics of human social and infrastructural systems and the environment within which they operate. Through considerations of policy, history, livelihoods, and phenology, she hopes to inform collaborative management approaches that support sustainable, thriving ecosystems.
Edward Trout MS Biology (2021)
Edward is interested in engaging with the challenges encountered in human-wildlife interfaces. His research aims to leverage ecological analyses joined with collaboration of local stakeholders to promote coexistence between humans and wildlife. He is co-advised by Dr. Kelly Hopping and Dr. Neil Carter (University of Michigan).
