Associate Professor
University of San Diego
A lawyer and environmental scholar, Dr. Andrew Tirrell teaches a range of courses related to environmental law and policy, human rights, and sustainable development. His research focuses on environmental justice, natural resource management, marine policy, and the Arctic. His current projects engage with environmental politics in border regions, fisheries management policy, and the role of institutions in coupled human-natural systems. He has recently published peer-reviewed journal articles on the role of institutions in fisheries policy, the role of bridge organizations in fostering trust in fisheries management, transboundary water policy at the Mexico-U.S. border, and how the Law of the Sea could have been better equipped to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. He has also recently published a book chapter with Cambridge University Press on Climate Change and Fisheries Politics. He is currently working on two book projects. The first, under contract with the University of Nebraska Press, focuses on the role of sociocultural norms in fisheries management in the European Union, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, United Kingdom, and United States. The second, under contract with Lexington Books (Rowman & Littlefield Press), explores environmental justice issues at the Mexico-U.S. border.
