Welcome – Bienvenido – Bem vindo – Tapeguahe porã

Welcome to my website where you can find information about my research and how to connect for potential collaborations, to study with me at Colorado State, and more!

I am a human-environment geographer who conducts transdisciplinary research on the political ecologies of development and conservation. My work centers on environmental justice, Indigenous rights, and the social-ecological impacts of climate change and extractive development in Latin America. To date, much of that work has focused on the the two largest and most-threatened forests of South America: the Gran Chaco and Amazon.

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Human Dimensions of Natural Resources Department at Colorado State University. I am co-Director of the Just Social-Ecological Transformations in Latin America Program. Before joining CSU, I was an Assistant Professor in the University of Florida Center for Latin American Studies and core faculty in the Tropical Conservation and Development Program.

Please note that I am updating my website and that all pages are in the process of revision.
