Assistant Professor, Geography, University of British Columbia

My research and teaching are focused on urban environmental politics. I draw on scholarship in infrastructural geographies, urban political ecology and environmental justice, geographical political economy, science and technology studies, and discard studies to explore the politics of urban waste and sanitation. I completed a PhD in geography from the University of Wisconsin—Madison and an MA in geography at the University of Arizona. My undergraduate degree is in development studies from the University of California, Berkeley. Before joining UBC, I was an Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow at New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
