Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment and Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at Princeton University, will present a collaborative project that aims to address the challenge of integrating insights from the behavioral sciences into sustainability research and policy that stem from the abundance and fragmentation of theories in the social sciences and the difficulties of communicating and integrating research across disciplines.
