Her research emphasizes participatory methodologies, including place-based climate adaptation workshops and process mapping to evaluate environmental decision-making. Key areas of interest include equity considerations in municipal climate plans, factors influencing adaptation project adoption, and leveraging virtual platforms for climate action convenings. Dr. Brousseau collaborates closely with municipalities and organizations to ensure research addresses real-world needs.
Recent projects analyze justice integration in U.S. climate policies over time and assess workshop effectiveness in fostering collective action. She advocates for value-driven science practices to enhance both research quality and team well-being. Her work bridges academic inquiry with practical conservation efforts, as seen in long-term Indonesian orangutan habitat studies.
