About Mark Neff

I am an academic oddball, which means that I get to spend my time thinking about the types of issues that fall into the cracks between the traditional academic disciplines. In both teaching and research, I explore how society organizes and utilizes science to advance its interests. This work draws from the academic fields of Environmental Policy, Science Policy, and the Science and Technology Studies, but does not fit neatly within those boxes. In order to understand this science policy interface, I regularly collaborate with ecologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and others from across academia. I maintain an affiliation with the Consortium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes– an interdisciplinary intellectual network of people dedicated to enhancing the contribution of science to equity, justice, and human wellbeing.
