Alex Segre Cohen is an Assistant Professor who researches where science, the environment, and society intersect. She asks questions about how the public perceives and understands science and technology, how science is used to inform people’s behavior, and how we should communicate about polarizing policy issues such as climate change and environmental justice. Alex received her Bachelor of Arts in Geography from Clark University and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Southern California. She’s worked in Washington, DC, for the National Science Foundation and has been actively involved in the environmental and climate justice movement through her work at Our Climate Voices.

When Alex isn't doing research, she can be found hiking and camping, listening to audiobooks, or on a never-ending quest for the perfect fish taco.

Hi everyone! My name is Lucy and I’m so excited to be your FIG assistant this fall! I’m from Portland, Oregon, and am a third-generation Duck. I grew up frequently visiting UO for football games and events like the Oregon Country Fair.

I will be a second-year Environmental Studies student this year and am considering a minor in Political Science. Growing up in Oregon, I’ve always loved the outdoors and spend much of my free time traveling, hiking, backpacking, and running. This is a large aspect of what drew me to Environmental Studies here at UO and has deepened my care and concern for environmental issues. In addition to spending time outdoors, I enjoy reading, throwing on the wheel in our ceramics studio, and crocheting.

I’m so excited to work with all of you and Professor Cohen in Climate Justice Storytelling this Fall. If you have any questions about our FIG or UO, need advice on Freshman year, or even want to introduce yourself, feel free to reach out! I’d love to hear from you all and can’t wait to meet you in the Fall!
