James Madison College Faculty

Madison Professor Dan Kramer, along with other MSU colleagues, will receive a 5 year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for just over $1 million. Dan Kramer and Jerry Urquhart (Lyman Briggs) will lead the project, “Globalization and the Connection of Remote Communities: Environmental Implications,” which addresses the impacts on human and natural systems in remote human settlements due to connection to global market, migration, and technology networks. They are joined by Co-PIs Andrea Allen (Anthropology/Center for Gender in Global Context), Aaron McCright (LB and Sociology), and Jiaguo Qi (Geography). The project’s research sites are twelve small communities of varying degrees of isolation along the Caribbean “Mosquito” Coast of Nicaragua. The grant includes $18,000 to support undergraduate research internships for JMC and LB students over the five year period.

Daniel Kramer published "Determinants and efficacy of social capital in lake associations" in Environmental Conservation, 34(3): 1–9, 2007.

During fall 2006, Dan Kramer attended the Annual American Fisheries Society Conference in Lake Placid, NY, and presented a paper entitled "Globalization Aikido: Building Resilient Reef Fisheries Institutions in the Pacific Islands."

Dan Kramer published the article "A comparison of alternative strategies for cost-effective water quality management in lake" in Environmental Management, 28.3, 411-425 (2006). He also attended two summer conferences: The World Congress of Environmental and Resource Economists in Kyoto, Japan, during which he presented a paper entitled, "Adaptive harvesting in a multiple use, multiple species coral reef ecosystem"; and The Annual Conference of the Society for Conservation Biology in San Jose, California, during which he presented a paper entitled, "Group hug for lakes: The determinants and efficacy of social capital in lake associations."

His research examines the social, economic, and policy aspects of conservation. Recently, he has researched the role of social capital in the stewardship activities of lake associations. He has also used simulation models to study the effects of variations in fishermen behavior on coral reef ecosystems. Professor Kramer’s teaching interests include domestic and international environmental policy, sustainable development, globalization and the environment, the social economic, and policy aspects of conservation biology, game theory, and quantitative methods.
