Overview

I am a feminist, cultural-political geographer. My work takes place at the intersection of feminist and political geographies and broadly speaks to interdisciplinary debates surrounding gender, environmental change, dislocation and postcapitalist landscapes. 

Research Interests: 

Learning to reimagine - landscape; bodies; scales of politics; violence; displacement

Research Bio:

My research draws on a long history of feminist research that expands and transforms established categories of political geography – states, borders, territories, violence – work that resists and undoes the entrenched hierarchies of what comes to matter in human geography.

Using the alternative vocabulary of bodily scars (and the process of suturing), my research rethinks the geographies of recovery and violence. I argue that the vocabulary of scarred landscapes offer a 'scabby' terrain on which the apocalyptic anxieties and descriptions of doomed and damaged communities that dominate contemporary environmental politics might be productively problematised and interesting questions around endurance and exhaustion might be opened up.
