About
I started my career in the Caribbean and Central America with a focus on critical development studies, gender inequality, and participatory methods. I now work with grassroots movements and organisers who are defending land, dignity, and self-determination amid structural violence, environmental conflict, and empire's enduring aftermaths. My parallel research on masculinity and settler colonialism recently received an Institute of Human Geography award.
I have been a human rights observer, freelance reporter, and solidarity volunteer in militarised zones from Chiapas to Palestine, where my work has resulted in features in The Conversation, Al Jazeera, Verso, Mondoweiss, Drop Site, NACLA, ZNetwork, Red Pepper Media, and The Electronic Intifada. At present, I co-lead an anticolonial archiving and counter-mapping database project in the West Bank and co-author the series "Breaking the Sword in Occupied Palestine."
My books include Defending Community, Territory, & Indigenous Environmental Relations (Cambridge University Press), Building Better Worlds (Bristol University Press), and Land, God, & Guns (Zed Press). I am also the former editor-in-chief of ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies and current editor, where I focus on militant methods, of Interface: A Journal For and About Social Movements (both are free, anti-corporate Diamond Open Access journals).
