Bio
Anna-Maria Marshall has a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, and a Ph.D. in Political Science from Northwestern University. She is currently an associate professor of Sociology and Law at the University of Illinois. Her research currently focuses on governance and policy-making on the environmental issues associated with agriculture. She is working on several projects on the adoption of innovative technologies and best management practices to address nutrient loss in Midwestern waters, and the role of voluntary policies in promoting such adoption. In addition, with a team of scientists and engineers across the country, she is a co-PI on the INFEWS-ER, an NSF-funded virtual resource center supporting transdisciplinary graduate education on “wicked problems” at the intersection of Food-Energy-Water Systems and on the EngageINFEWS Research Coordination Network focused on stakeholder engagement. These projects are an extension of Marshall’s longstanding research interests on understanding the role of law in promoting social change.
