Profile

Amelia Greiner is an assistant professor in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. Her expertise is in the role health considerations play in land use decision making processes and how food risk, particularly seafood, is communicated in the news media. After studying English and Biology at Gustavus Adolphus College, she pursued a Masters of Science in Communication at Cornell University and completed her PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She has led initiatives to evaluate the role health plays in zoning decision making in Baltimore, helped foster collaborations among Departments of Health, Law and Planning for local land use decisions, co-founded a volunteer organization to raise the profile of the ways in which a zoning rewrite may impact health, and served as a public health liaison for an ecological restoration firm aiding them in water quality and environmental justice issues. She currently serves as the co-chair of the Education, Arts& Community Technical Advisory Committee for the STAR Community Index, a national framework and performance-management system that will allow local governments to measure and rate their sustainability performance.
