ABOUT THE SPEAKER

"My scholarship has shifted from constructive (policy- and practice-oriented) to more critical orientations over time, yet I have an ongoing interest in engaged research in the service of social justice and environmental sustainability. Themes of ongoing interest include land and environmental governance; the political-economic and ontological roots of inequality; and how theory and method can be deployed in support of more sustainable, anti-oppressive futures. I am also a methodologist, creatively integrating the unique strengths of conventional and action-oriented research, distinct disciplinary traditions, and seemingly incompatible ways of knowing to match the problem at hand. I welcome opportunities to engage with others to stretch the imaginative space as well as challenge my own knowledge practices."
