Urban & Environmental Studies
Urban & Environmental Studies (UES) focuses on the cultural issues of sustainability and climate change in institutional settings including universities and the impact of the built and natural environments on quality of life. In collaboration with U-M’s Graham Sustainability Institute, UES initiated the Sustainability Cultural Indicators Program in 2012. This is a comprehensive study designed to assess sustainability knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes across U-M students, faculty, and staff over time.
Aging & Biopsychosocial Innovations
Aging & Biopsychosocial Innovations (ABI) is a research program founded in 2019, which aims to understand how stress and social contexts affect health. ABI also examines the biophysical factors that account for these links, using a multidisciplinary research approach.
