Curriculum Vitae (PDF 411 KB)
I have over twenty years of experience in environment and development research, teaching, and advising, with a focus on how gender, equity, and environmental change intersect. My work explores issues of social and environmental justice in agriculture, water governance, rural-urban livelihoods, climate change adaptation, and disaster response in Southeast Asia. using a feminist political ecology perspective, I study how power shapes everyday lives and development policies, and how interventions can be more responsive to real-world contexts and experiences.
I welcome students interested in taking critical and grounded approaches to questions such as:
- How gender, intersectionality, and climate change are experienced and contested
- How everyday practices of socioecological reproduction (care) sustain rural communities
- How colonial and patriarchal logics shape water infrastructure and "green" climate solutions
- How emerging just transition experiences in natural resource use systems can foster more equitable futures
I work closely with students to promote creativity, critical thinking, and socially engaged scholarship that bridges theory and practice.
I am eager to supervise master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral projects within the nexus of feminist political ecology and decolonial aspects of critical development studies. I am particularly interested in projects related to social, gender, and environmental justice that critically examine climate change solutions, sustainable development, and the often-overlooked silent impacts and slow violence of resource extraction and various forms of displacement. I am also interested in exploring the politics of transitions and alternative strategies to development that position socioecological reproduction at the core of their vision and practice.
