My academic interests rest primarily in the political dimension of the interconnections and interdependencies between society and the rest of nature. Most of my current research is related to social and environmental justice, the multiple obstacles faced by marginalised groups and creative reactions at different geographical scales. The work is intended to have both academic and more-than-academic relevance and is focused on socionatural processes, on the political economy of development and environmental regulation, and on governance and politics.
