Research Themes

Indigenous Peoples + Climate Change

My academic research focusses on environmental politics, and particularly the role of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples in UN climate change negotiations. This was the central theme of my PhD research at the University of Sussex and a book I published in 2024 with Routledge – Indigeneity, Climate Change, and the Limits of Western Epistemology. I’m now researching the ways AI changes how we think about ourselves and our environments.

Research Ethics, Gender + Violence

At LSE, I led impact events and facilitated research for the Gender, Justice and Security Hub; an international collaborative project involving over 150 researchers, activists and gender experts. Before this, I consulted on a range of gender projects including the ‘What Works’ to end Violence Against Women and Girls Final Evaluation and the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery (GFEMS). I’ve also consulted as a developmental editor on various gender focussed books.

Storying the Self + Class in Academia

Throughout my career, I’ve been involved in working-class solidarity across the academic and research communities. I’ve conducted research, presented my work, and published on the role of class identity in shaping our experiences of higher education and academia. This includes using reflexive and auto-ethnographic methods. I’m also an active member of LSE’s first formal network of working-class students and scholars, which was established in 2023.
