Emily Diaz-Loar

Hello and welcome! 

My name is Emily Diaz-Loar and I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. 

My doctoral work focuses on the political economy of plastics consumption and policy. My research and teaching interests include political economy, the economics of climate change, and global environmental justice and policy. I hold an M.A. in economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a B.A. in mathematics from the University of North Carolina Asheville.

When I'm not doing research or teaching, I enjoy drinking tea and reading fiction.
