Biography: 

Christopher Boone is the dean of the School of Sustainability and professor in the School of Sustainability and School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University. His research contributes to ongoing debates in sustainable urbanization, environmental justice, vulnerability, and global environmental change. He is a co-PI for the urban Long Term Ecological Research projects based in Baltimore and Phoenix, both supported by the National Science Foundation. During his academic career, he has been a principal or co-principal investigator on research grants totaling $37 million and as a collaborator on grants totaling $31 million. He is the author of two books on urban sustainability and has authored 75 articles and book chapters in a wide array of scholarly outlets. At ASU, he has taught classes on sustainable urbanization, urban and environmental health, principles and methods of sustainability, environmental justice, sustainable design and innovation, and interdisciplinary methods for socio-ecological research. He has a PhD from the University of Toronto and was a post-doctoral fellow at McGill University.
