Laura Stone Davis is a newcomer to the field of sustainability. With over 30 years of experience as a finance professional, she currently works as an accountant for a non-profit organization. She also teaches accounting, sharing her extensive knowledge and practical experience with her students. Her journey to the doctoral program began with her simply being the loving parent of an autistic son with a concern for sustainability and his responsibility for the planet. His knowledge and engagement in sustainability sparked her interest, steering her research towards eco-anxiety and sustainable communities, particularly within the context of Scandinavian countries, which are renowned for their progressive approaches to sustainability and high levels of societal well- being. Combining her accounting background with a commitment to environmental and social issues, Laura seeks to uncover the intricate relationships between economic practices, ecological sustainability, and psychological well-being. Her proposed research will explore how sustainability can alleviate eco-anxiety and contribute to happier, more resilient communities. Laura strives to foster a deeper understanding of how sustainable communities can thrive economically and emotionally, paving the way for innovative solutions and bridging the gap between financial accountability and environmental stewardship. Laura’s ultimate goal is to inspire and educate others about integrating sustainability into all facets of life, from individual well-being to global financial systems. Laura holds a B.S. from the University of Massachusetts and an MBA from Suffolk University. Born and raised in Boston, Laura is the proud mother of two adult sons and enjoys spending time with family, volunteering and exploring new cultures through eco-travel.
