Research at the intersection of environmental change, social equity, and the communities most affected by ecological transformation.
Explore the workThe work lives behind what some call data. The work is in the interconnectedness of knowledge, futures, and environments. What matters most is the inseparable bond between how we know the world, how we imagine its future, and the ecological systems that sustain us. This work must speak to people, to the communities at the frontline of change. It must speak to nature, to the forests and rivers and soils that can no longer be treated as merely resources. And it must speak to the environment, to the political and material conditions that shape who thrives and who is left behind. This is the conversation we should have when discussing environmental social sciences and our life on Earth.
