Post Doctoral Research Associate
Purdue University, United States
My name is Elsie Assan, Ph.D. I currently work as a Post Doctoral Resesarch Associate at the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University. My research interest encompasses understanding the role of agriculture in environmental governance and sustainability using both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. I hold a B.Sc. in Agriculture from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. I obtained my M.S. in Community Sustainability from Michigan State University, where my thesis focused on the gender dimensions of climate change adaptation among smallholder farmers in Northwestern Ghana. I recently graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Extension Education. My dissertation assessed perspectives on stakeholder participation in the planning and implementation processes of Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) at the federal, local, and state levels of program decision-making and factors influencing farmers’ (non-)participation in EQIP. I enjoy cooking, listening to music, and spending time with my family outside of work.
