David Fulton

Dr. Fulton's research program focuses on understanding and improving human decision processes in the conservation and management of fish and wildlife. He is particularly interested in understanding the social, political, and cultural factors related to improving decision processes and the role that human values and attitudes play in decision-making. He emphasizes the use of theories and methods from sociology and psychology but encourage students to take an interdisciplinary research approach. David believes that both qualitative and quantitative social research methods are essential for understanding the human dimensions of wildlife conservation and management.
