My graduate students all integrate historical perspectives into management and conservation questions. I only accept students who wish to train in some aspect of forest or environmental history; students who intend to design projects in restoration ecology or wildlife management should contact other potential advisors. Many of my PhD students do joint PhDs (with history, forestry, or environmental studies), and they are co-advised, to gain better interdisciplinary training. They are all members of CHE, the new UW Center for Culture, History, and Environment. Please note that I advise students in both the Department of Forest and Wildlife Ecology and The Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. 

I will be accepting 2 or 3 new graduate students for 2011-2012. I provide funding for all my students during Fall semesters through TAships or PAships, which limits the number of students I can accept. I cannot always promise funding in Spring semesters, although I help students explore opportunities, and my students almost always find funding.
