Bio
Kristen Shorette’s research examines the political economic and normative aspects of globalization, primarily in the fields of environment, economy, human rights, and health. Her work focuses on the role of global institutions in macro-structural change in the context of a highly stratified world system. She is especially interested in the potential of international organizations and treaties to alleviate economic, social, and environmental inequalities and how that potential varies by regional, national, and local context.
