Personal profile

Research Interests

Questions about the governance of resources, the lived experiences of agrarian change, and the political economy of development drive my research. I am a feminist scholar whose commitment to social justice manifests in research questions that interrogate intersectional resource access; participatory methodologies that highlight marginalized voices; and public scholarship that advocates for more equitable policy. I use collaborative approaches and new digital methodologies (including critical remote sensing and social media analysis) alongside the traditional tools of interviews, ethnography, household surveys, and document review in order to understand environmental politics and uneven development in the digital age. My interdisciplinary research portfolio contributes to current debates in environmental studies, geography, critical data studies and global development theory and practice.
