Postdoctoral Scholar
My scholarship sits at the intersection of data science,
participatory action research, and Science and Technology Studies
(STS). This combination is relevant and timely as data science
becomes an increasingly dominant way to know about both society
and the environment we depend on. Allowing this trend to continue
without critical evaluation, especially in conservation and
natural resources science, could very easily lead to reinforcing
structural injustice and environmental degradation.
