About

I started my career in the Caribbean and Central America where I focused on international development, political geography, and gender inequality. I now work with grassroots movements and organisers who are defending land, dignity, and self-determination amidst structural violence, environmental conflict, and the enduring aftermaths of empire. I strive to ensure that research is relevant to communities who are pursuing material-spiritual wellbeing, alternative futures, and autonomy "from below." We are committed to social change through participatory methods, creative arts, co-production, and non-commercial open access. I've also written about settler colonialism, masculinity, gun culture, and deaths of despair in the United States.
