Communication Studies Professor, Dr. Rebekah Fox , was recently awarded one hundred thousand dol- lars from the United States Forest Service (USFS) to conduct mixed methods research on topics related to organizational communication and the barriers and facilitators of implementing the Social Science Research Group (SSRG) for wildfire. The SSRG is a long-term program that brings together social scientists and in- the-field practitioners to better understand the social geographies of wildfire mitigation. Specifically, Dr. Fox will develop a team for the SSRG and place members at the forefront of identifying research needs, and provide USFS fire managers and line managers with practical research that can improve communication in the field. Additionally, Dr. Fox and the SSRG team will pub- lish academic research through accessible media and non-media platforms to increase the knowledge base of wildfire risk mitigation and communication impacts. Fi- nally, the SSRG team will train and support a new and diverse generation of social science students and early career professionals to research wildland fire crises from problem-focused and solutions-based perspectives.
