Welcome! I am a geographer and political ecologist, currently a visiting assistant professor of environment and society at Brown University. My interdisciplinary research examines pipeline opposition movements in the central United States and the ways in which they have transformed the politics of climate justice. This research intervenes in debates in political ecology concerning ecological democracy and infrastructure politics in order to better understand the challenges social movements face in addressing global environmental justice. I argue that emergent environmental populism challenges the climate movement's history of elitism yet still often reinforcing anew its reliance on hierarchies of race, class, and nation. This research forms part of a broader interest in feminism, Marxism, and political theory, as well as the broad importance of understanding the ways in which space, ecology, and nature are enrolled in social projects of oppression or liberation. I hold a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Macalester College and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Minnesota. I have solo and collectively authored publications in Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, Miami Rail, The New Inquiry, and Jacobin, and have committed manuscripts out soon Antipode: A Journal of Radical Geography, The Annals of the American Association of Geographers, The Routledge International handbook of Gender and Feminist Geographies​, Museums and Activism, Into the Void, and Capitalism and the Earth.
