Biography

I’m interested in how we might grapple with racial capitalism and settler colonialism as ecological regimes that are deeply implicated in the materiality and discursive construction of the so-called Anthropocene. What role do these regimes play in the reproduction, uneven development, and displacement of ecological crises increasingly understood to be unfolding at a planetary scale?
