About

Malcolm Araos is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Public Service at NYU’s Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and is an Associated Faculty member in the Department of Environmental Studies. His research examines the governance and politics of climate change, with a particular focus on adaptation and resilience. He studies how governments and communities collectively plan and implement responses to climate threats such as coastal flooding and water scarcity, emphasizing democratic participation, contested expertise, and equity in planning processes. His recent projects include a study of participatory democracy processes in New York City’s coastal adaptation planning after Superstorm Sandy, an analysis of the politics surrounding efforts to save the shrinking Great Salt Lake in Utah, and a series of collaborative global assessments of progress on climate adaptation across sectors and scales. His work has been published in various academic journals including Environmental Science & Policy, Nature Climate Change, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and others. He holds a B.A. from McGill University and a Ph.D. in Sociology from NYU, where he was a Fellow at the Institute for Public Knowledge. Before joining Wagner, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy in Utah.
