I am an educator, researcher and activist with a focus on critical, radical, and feminist studies of nature-society relationships and on rural/migrant masculinity in the Himalaya. My theoretical interests include critical environmental justice, critical/feminist studies of global environmental change, science and technology studies, critical development studies and youth studies from the majority world. My current research project explores the functional and emancipatory value of indigenous cartography in landscape redesign within Aotearoa and the politics of climate adaptation across the Himalaya. I actively pursue research that is boundary-crossing between natural and social sciences, drawing upon plural epistemologies and co-producing knowledge with indigenous and local communities.

I am an activist researcher/writer from lutruwita/Tasmania, based in Otautahi Christchurch. I hold a double Masters's in Law and Development studies with 8 years of experience in social and environmental justice campaigns and research roles. My research interests are in climate politics, extractivism, green colonialism and Legal Pluralism. I am also a creative who has worked with projects for Movement Art Pratice, Nelipot Collective, Enspiralled Ensemble and Hobart Playback Theatre. I am passionate about the combination of ritualised earth-centred movement and co-liberatory research for transformative change and planetary healing
