Dr. York's research interests include interjurisdictional governance, land use policy, housing provision and economic development. An ongoing project is development of a generalizable theory of cross-border coordination that helps to explain different environmental issues, such as wildlife and forest management, as well as coordination of urban growth and development. Her work has focused on collective action across borders, understanding urbanization, evaluation of land use institutions' impacts on the landscape and the dynamics of the local political economy. York currently co-teaches Institutions, Society and the Environment and is preparing for more courses on institutions and urban policy in the semesters to come, particularly those associated with the new Ph.D. in Environmental Social Science program. Before coming to ASU, York was an assistant professor in the Department of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. She teaches Institutions, Environment and Society.
