Research Overview

My research interests tend to focus around the the justice and political implications of novel technologies, including climate engineering, circular economy, and smart-cities, explored through lenses adopted and adapted from science and technology studies, moral philosophy and the environmental humanities. I am also interested in ways in which activist and campaign movements effect change, and in particular, how they engage with, and can be empowered by academic research.
