I am an environmental sociologist working on environmental justice, the political ecology of social reproduction in North America, and the decolonization of human-non-human relationships. I work as a Policy Analyst for the Territorial Planning Unit of the Grand Council Treaty #3. Any opinions expressed on this website are my own and do not represent Grand Council Treaty #3’s positions, strategies, or opinions.
I have conducted research on Indigenous Fisheries in the Arctic, US-Canada transboundary water governance and its impacts on the Anishinaabe wild rice economy, peasant economies in Upstate New York, Italy and Austria, the implementation of sustainability metrics in US agriculture, and the siting of proposed oil and natural gas pipelines in the United States.
