| Research Interests: |
| The interests of Dr. Stonich lie in her longtime studies of the effects of economic development on human societies and the natural environment in Central America. Her projects there have concentrated on the consequences of nontraditional export growth along the Pacific Coast and also the effects on human health and nutrition associated with intensified tourism development. Her studies focus on the radialization of local groups around environmental issues and the emergence of grass-roots environmental movements of the poor. She has also begun research and implemented new classes on environmental health and social justice issues related to agriculture in Santa Barbara County. In this regard, she is involved in developing a bilingual environmental education project with the Santa Barbara schools.
