Biography

-

Kaitlin Raimi is an assistant professor of public policy at the Ford School. A social psychologist, her interests center on how social motivations have the potential to promote or prevent sustainable behaviors. Raimi's research focuses on climate change communication, how people compare their own beliefs and behaviors to those of other people, and how adopting one sustainable behavior affects subsequent environmental actions and policy support. She also studies people’s perceptions of climate-related technologies and beliefs about tampering with the natural world. Raimi completed an MA and PhD in social psychology from Duke University and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy & Environment at Vanderbilt University.
