Damon Hall

My research examines the interactions between social and ecological systems where science, culture, and policy meet.

I am committed to projects that are audience-focused and aimed at making usable knowledge for sustainable transitions.

I completed a PhD in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences as a Boone & Crockett PhD Fellow in Conservation Policy at Texas A&M University. I hold a MA in Communication and a BS in Agriculture concentrating on Forestry and Natural Resources both from Purdue University. I was a National Science Foundation-supported Sustainability Science Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Maine's Sustainability Solutions Initiative and then an Assistant Professor at Saint Louis University in the Center for Sustainability.

In 2018, I joined the University of Missouri as a part of the "Pillars of Pursuit" cluster hire under Sustainability inFEWSed (Food, Energy, Water, Smart Cities) as a jointly appointed faculty member in the School of Natural Resources and Biomedical, Biological & Chemical Engineering. At Mizzou, I teach courses on Sustainability, Sustainability Science Problem Solving, Research Methods, and Stakeholder Engagement.
