Debra Javeline, Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science, presents her research project, “Coastal Homeowners in a Changing Climate,” to an interdisciplinary group of NDIAS Fellows, guest faculty, and students.
Professor Javeline divides her time between the study of Russia and the study of global environmental problems, especially climate change. She is the author of Protest and the Politics of Blame: The Russian Response to Unpaid Wages (2003), and her two current book projects are After Violence: The Beslan School Massacre and the Peace that Followed and Solutions: Science, Politics, and Saving the Planet. Her article publications include “The Most Important Topic Political Scientists are Not Studying: Adapting to Climate Change” in Perspectives on Politics (2014) and “Coastal Homeowners in a Changing Climate” in Climatic Change (2019). She is collaborating with engineers on “Coastal Homeownership in a Changing Climate: A Study of Risk Awareness, Risk Reduction, and Resilience,” funded by the National Science Foundation and Notre Dame’s Environmental Change Initiative. With scholars of environmental governance, she co-edited a special issue of Climatic Change on “Adapting to Water Impacts of Climate Change” (2019). With a former Notre Dame undergraduate and current biology Ph.D. student, she published a book chapter, “Adaptation of Ecosystems in the Anthropocene,” in Research Handbook on Climate Change Adaptation Policy (2019), and she continues to work on issues related to climate change and scientific opinion.
Professor Javeline has conducted survey research in the former Soviet Union for the U.S. Information Agency (now State Department) and the U.S. Agency for International Development. She has held fellowships from Fulbright-Hays, Mellon, ACTR, FLAS, Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian Studies, the University of Colorado’s Institute of Behavioral Science, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research. In 2011-2012, she was supported by a Mellon New Directions fellowship to study ecology and environmental law.
