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.

- LANDPATHS - Forest Landscapes
- Rethinking the Global Soy Dilemma
- AI in Higher Education (Pedagogical project, at the Div. of Environmental Communication)
