Representation

Analyzes links between conflict dynamics, who advances which interests, and how representation manifests across actors and meetings in collaborative settings.

Finds distinct sectoral discussion patterns; retreat meetings increase discussion for all sectors; and meeting-level factors associate differently with representation across sectors.

Builds an original longitudinal dataset from meeting minutes to analyze who participates, who is represented in two-way communications, and how conflict dynamics evolve across councils and time.

Tracks shifts in who participates and how actors coordinate in collaborative governance bodies focused on environmental justice.
