Geographies of Conservation & Development
Facilitating Critical Transdisciplinary Research for More Just Futures in the Américas
I am a critical human-environment geographer with 20+ years applied research and collaboration experience across the Américas working at the intersection of political ecology and development geographies to advance collaborative research on complex social-ecological challenges in Latin America’s fading forest frontiers: the Gran Chaco and Amazon.

Research
My research program centers on four key areas of intervention: 1) Indigenous rights and land restitution, 2) political ecologies of climate and environmental justice, 3) biocultural conservation and Indigenous stewardship, and 4) transdisciplinary research for just transformations.
