ɬÂþÌìÌÃ

I started as Lecturer in Public sociology and Sociology at ɬÂþÌìÌà in 2020. I teach Political ecology, environmental justice, popular education, public sociology, and community-based education, and I supervise undergraduate dissertations.

I am also a PhD candidate since January 2019. My research is based in the Centre for Applied Social Sciences and aims to examine the critical differences of community waste reduction groups in Scotland and India through a post human feminist political ecology lens. My PhD supervisor is Eurig Scandrett.

I have recently been a research fellow conducting and analysing research on environmental justice communities alongside Eurig Scandrett. I am involved in several post human research networks throughout Europe and environmental humanities.

Before coming to ɬÂþÌìÌà I wrote a chapter for a book edited by Anne Harley and Eurig Scandrett entitled ‘Environmental Justice, popular struggle and community development’, which was published in 2019. Prior to this I worked for NGOs and ran a small charitable organisation called SEAD (Scottish Education and Action for Development) which focused on popular education methods, community development within international social and environmental justice projects and links with Scotland. I have a long history of being involved in activism and am particularly related to climate change, oil, waste, and the global anti incineration movements. I have worked with several environmental campaign groups in Scotland and globally.
