Hi, I’m Andrew Malmuth!

I am a PhD candidate in sociology at UCLA currently studying the politics of climate adaptation and mitigation in the United States.

My dissertation explores the politics of sea level rise adaptation in California. Focusing on the political activity of homeowners, real estate interests, and local officials, I show how property and political power are intersecting with climate change impacts to shape the future of the coast.

I am affiliated with and have received support from the Climate Social Science Network and the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy.

My award-winning work has been published in Npj Climate Action, Places Journal, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other publications.

I would love to connect with you at dmalmuth@ucla.edu.
