Benjamin Ghasemi

This researcher studies how people think about and interact with wildlife, especially large carnivores like mountain lions, wolves, and bears, and how those attitudes shape conservation policy and management decisions. The work often combines psychology, sociology, and survey methods to understand public support for hunting, poaching enforcement, and species reintroduction. Prospective students would be looking at human dimensions of wildlife research rather than purely biological or ecological fieldwork.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from occasional papers in 2017-2019 to a steady stream of 3-6 publications per year from 2021 onward.
