I am a research and course assistant at the Division of Environmental Communication.

Presentation

I work with research and teaching related to environmental communication and governance, conflict and dialogue over natural resource management, forest multifunctionality, agricultural practices, and food systems. I am also very interested in post-humanist and decolonial perspectives in environmental research, as well as gender and ecofeminist theories.
