I am currently looking specifically at food system design, community food insecurity, and the relationships between food policy and health. I am also working on research with an undergraduate researcher exploring the nature of food purchasing decisions as they relate to local buying systems. Overall, my research is driven by community and\/or regional problem-solving. I partner with communities to understand socio-environmental problems and then apply that research in decision-making contexts. My work spans several traditional disciplinary boundaries including human ecology, environmental sociology, landscape ecology, agroecology, and human geography.<\/p>\n<p>Though my research interests focus specifically around humans and the environment, I enjoy working with students from a wide range of sociological and environmental backgrounds. I have advised undergraduate capstone research projects on topics as diverse as body modification to permaculture. I am currently working with two undergraduate research assistants on collaborative research. I welcome additional committed students with compatible research interests.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my current research interests, I actively participate in the teaching and learning community at Â鶹´«Ã½ through workshops, mentoring, and peer-assessment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"heavy-man dig-4\">Courses taught at Â鶹´«Ã½:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pop-4\">\n<li>University Foundations: Green House (HSE 101,102,103)<\/li>\n<li>The Â鶹´«Ã½ Oregon Bioregion (ES 100)<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to Environmental Science: Social Science (ES 103)<\/li>\n<li>Environmental Science &amp; Policy II (ES 310)<\/li>\n<li>Sustainability and Natural Resources (ES 423)<\/li>\n<li>EcoAdventure: Costa Rica (ES 498)<\/li>\n<li>EcoAdventure: Mayan Riviera (ES 498)<\/li>\n<li>EcoAdventure: Andes to Amazon (ES 498)<\/li>\n<li>Environmental Sociology (ES\/SOC 420)<\/li>\n<li>The Sociological Imagination (SOC 204)<\/li>\n<li>Social Problems and Policy: Food and Nutrition (SOC 205)<\/li>\n<li>Sociological Practice: Research Design and Writing (SOC 301)<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to Social Research Methods (SOC 326)<\/li>\n<li>Community Studies: Community-Based Research (SOC 310)<\/li>\n<li>Sociology of the Family (SOC 312)<\/li>\n<li>Food, Power, and Agriculture (SOC 425)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Selected Publications, Presentations, and Projects:<\/span><br \/>\nSmith, V., M.
