Lynette Moran

I am interested in grief and loss, memory and place, environmental sociology, and "the sacred" in religion. My passion is for understanding how people make meaning in our social structures and processes, especially around times of trauma and transition. I hope to understand how individual and collective memories and emotions impact how we define social problems and vice versa.
