Head shot of Trina Hamilton.

Trina Hamilton studies corporate social and environmental responsibility.

She has spoken to the media and engaged in public debate on topics ranging from the Volkswagen emissions-cheating scandal to the ethical diamond market (one of her current areas of research).

She is interested how government regulation, social and environmental activism, and market mechanisms such as ethical consumerism work together to drive corporate change and address sustainability. She is currently conducting a National Science Foundation-funded research project on the ethical diamond trade, and collaborating on a co-authored book on environmental gentrification based on ongoing research in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Hamilton is a co-director of the Center for Trade, Environment and Development at UB.
