Adam Zwickle
Adam Zwickle is an Assistant Professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan State University.
He conducts interdisciplinary social science research centered on communicating environmental risks
and encouraging sustainable behaviors. Drawing from the fields of social psychology and risk
communication, his work integrates theories of individual perception and message framing to aide
communication practitioners. Specifically, his goal is to better communicate environmental risks in ways
that reduce the amount that their long term impacts are discounted. He is also active in sustainability
issues at the university level. He has worked with colleagues to develop a valid assessment of
sustainability knowledge targeted at undergraduate students, partnered with university sustainability
offices to increase conservation behaviors among students, and believes in using campuses as living
laboratories to produce both theoretical and practical research as well as tangible local impacts.
