| Riley Dunlap's empirical research has three
major foci: (1) Environmental concern, including trends in public
opinion on environmental issues; cross-national comparisons of citizen
concern for the environment; and the nature and sources of environmental
attitudes, beliefs and worldviews; (2) The environmental movement,
including the evolution and current status of American environmentalism,
public support for the environmental movement, and the development
of international environmentalism; (3) Anti-environmentalism, particularly
anti-environmentalists' sources of support, ideology and tactics.
In addition to his empirical work, Dr. Dunlap regularly writes assessments
of theoretical developments in the field of environmental sociology.
Besides co-editing the Handbook of Environmental Sociology (Greenwood Press, 2002) and Sociological Theory and the Environment (Rowman-Littlefield, 2002), Dr. Dunlap has served as President of the International Sociological Association's Research Committee on Environment and Society and as Chair of the American Sociological Association's Section on Environment and Technology, the Rural Sociological Society's Natural Resources Research Group, and the Society for the Study of Social Problems' Division on Environment and Technology. Dr. Dunlap was elected a Fellow of the American Association for
the Advacement of Science in 2000, and received the "Excellence
in Research Award" from the Rural Sociological Society in
2002. In the 1980s he was recipient of an "Award of Merit" from
the Rural Sociological Society's Natural Resources Research Group
