Research Interests

Drawing on my experience working on environmental conservation and justice, I think about the implications for governance, of framing the world ocean as a progressive and interconnected social place. I’m interested in law, decoloniality, discourse, co-creation, and the role of imagination on our relationship with the ocean. ​
