My work supports Indigenous-led transformations in conservation governance and practice, and the possibilities for decolonial change within environmental institutions. Sitting at the intersections of environmental justice, Indigenous Studies, political ecology, and posthumanist feminisms, I am interested in relational, emergent, responsive, and arts-based methodologies.
