Doctoral Student

"Seungyun Lee is a Ph.D. student in Environmental Sociology at Rutgers University—New Brunswick. Her main research interests are sustainable lifestyles, climate emotions, and sustainability transitions. In her dissertation project, she focuses on integrating cultural and symbolic dimensions into sustainability transitions, exploring the concept of “religious repertoires” to understand how diverse societal and institutional practices—secular or otherwise—function as repertoires that influence what people consider possible and desirable. For her master’s thesis, Seungyun analyzed how country-level environmental policy and performance affect individual experiences of climate anxiety.

Seungyun holds a BA in Environmental Sociology and Medicine, Health, and Society from Vanderbilt University."
