The SCP would not exist without the passion and dedication of its two lead faculty advisors, Tom Finger and Stefan Sommer.

Tom Finger was instrumental in the development of the SCP and now co-teaches the SCP seminars and workshop.
Thomas Finger teaches classes in American and environmental history. His research focuses on environmental histories of food, water, and energy systems. He is particularly interested in how human economic relationships are embedded in natural systems, and how the materiality of resource flows contributes to economic inequality. In his teaching and research, Dr. Finger looks beyond national borders to ask how larger communities of humans, plants, and animals live within production chains.

Stefan Sommer joined the SCP early on and now co-teaches the SCP seminars and workshop.
Stefan has broad interests in understanding how the world works and how to effectively communicate that understanding to people of different cultures. His recent focus has been on communicating effectively about biological diversity to people of different subcultures within the United States.
