About Me:

I am a political ecologist with interdisciplinary training in international relations. My research centrally concerns how sustainable development is envisioned and carried into politics. My book, Governing the Rainforest: Sustainable Development Politics in the Brazilian Amazon (Oxford University Press, 2019) is based on ten years of research in the Brazilian Amazon, and offers a historical account of how lives and landscapes have been profoundly impacted by the sustainable development paradigm. My research and teaching also focus on urban sustainability and prospects for climate justice, and the honeybee in relation to global environmental politics. I use postcolonial/decolonial theories, development critiques, and mixed social science methods with an emphasis on ethnography in my research. I engage several of my classes in community-based research. I am also Chair of the City of Lancaster Planning Commission.
