Research Interest
My academic interests lie in exploring the sociological dimensions of sustainability development. I am particularly fascinated by the ways in which societal behaviors, cultural norms, and ethical considerations shape environmental outcomes and sustainable practices within communities. This area of study is crucial in our rapidly changing world, as it connects environmental integrity with the social factors that influence how we address environmental challenges.
Thesis Topic
I am interested in examining the disconnect between students' expectations and the actual content of sustainability programs at universities. Specifically, I aim to investigate how this gap may contribute to the dropout rates among first-year students in these programs. By understanding the reasons behind this mismatch, I hope to propose revisions to the first-year curriculum that could align student expectations with the realities of the program, ultimately improving retention rates and student satisfaction.
