Politics
Contact Details:
My research focusses on the entangled relationship between people, how they organise into communities, and the landscape that they are situated in (geography, geology, and ecology). I use the New Materialisms to explore the politics and economics of entanglement, and the implications of a more-than-human politics on social and environmental justice. In practical terms, I often find myself exploring rural economic development, and local government.
Past research projects:
Fulbright All Disciplines scholarship (ethnographic inspired) fieldwork explored what an entangled politics looks like, drawing on case studies in Appalachia, New Orleans, and California.
