An educator, environmental leader, quantitative methodologist, social philosopher, and lifelong learner, Dr. Andrew Hargrove’s work focuses on the intersection between climate action, environmental sociology, and engaged citizenship. His teaching takes students on a journey through our global climate problem, how we got here, what solutions are available, and how each of us has more power than we think to change the systems and implement solutions at scale.

Dr. Hargrove earned his Ph.D. in Sociology from Stony Brook University (SUNY) in 2021 and his Bachelors in Psychology from Gonzaga in 2010. His teaching and research takes an interdisciplinary approach and interrogates the social, political, economic, and environmental factors associated with global environmental and public health outcomes. Dr. Hargrove’s classroom engages in critical and experiential learning in novel ways that lead to deeper knowledge and greater enjoyment.

Dr. Hargrove is currently using his global interdisciplinary perspective to teach several courses for the Judy Genshaft Honors College including (not all courses offered every semester):

What is the Environment?
How to Save a Planet
Sustainable Tampa Bay
Cli-Fi: Climate Fiction and Climate Science
Du Bois Data Portraits Remix Capstone
Acquisition of Knowledge
Dr. Hargrove leads the Sustainable Futures initiative at the Judy Genshaft Honors College. Through this initiative, Dr. Hargrove helps to facilitate Honors curriculum, events, research, and partnerships that will move the students, the college, the university, and the Tampa Bay area together towards a more sustainable future.
