About me:
I am an environmental sociologist at The University of Oregon. My research and teaching address questions at the intersection of structural inequality, development processes, and environmental change. My work engages scholarship in the fields of environmental sociology, environmental justice, climate justice, critical theories of race, energy transitions and technological displacement, and socio-ecological systems. I currently teach both undergraduate and graduate level Environmental Sociology, Race and Racism at University of Oregon.
