Research Interests

I am currently exploring alternate visions of energy justice in California and the political ecology of a just transition. Specifically, I am interested in exploring interdisciplinary research related to California off-shore wind development and the resulting intersection of ecology, politics, labor, and socio-cultural perceptions of justice in renewable energy frontier communities.
