Profile

My research and teaching interests are in the sociology of the environment (with a specialization in environmental and climate justice), sociology of science and technology, sociology of social movements, and critical race and indigenous studies. I am especially interested in how Latin American environmental policies and historical regimes have produced gendered and racialized harms to rural people's biological, economic, and social worlds. My work also examines how Indigenous, Black, and Mestizx communities generate feminist forms of dissent that challenge such regimes and promote forms of living otherwise.

 

I am a passionate educator. I draw from the intersectional tradition, and decolonial thought and praxis to design and teach my courses and engage in grassroots-based education initiatives.
