About
I’m a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Environmental Teaching Fellow in the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University.
I earned my interdisciplinary PhD in Environmental Studies and English from the University of Oregon in June 2022.
My research, teaching, and public writing disrupt liberal humanist projects that produce and legitimize violence toward vulnerable humans and nonhumans. My work demonstrates how contemporary literature, state policies, science, and technology produce injustices against multispecies communities and it considers how these sites might be reimagined to produce more inclusive, just, and livable worlds.
I engage a wide body of theory and methodology from the environmental humanities and social sciences, often placing fields in conversation with one another to identify shared concerns and approaches, and to develop lines of inquiry capable of addressing interdisciplinary problems. I draw upon bodies of scholarship that are invested in boundary crossing, resistance, and cultural formation, including feminist theory, environmental and ecological justice studies, autobiography studies, and multispecies studies.
