Research Interests:
Geographies of earth, life, organisms, interactions, boundaries
Research

Animal and plant geographies
Human-environmental interactions
Science and technology studies
Geographic thought and philosophy
Complexity and resilience theory

I encourage students to question their disciplinary boundaries and to be aware of how academics is constructed and maintained by certain practices, expectations, and social norms.
