I am a tenure track Assistant Professor in Justice, Community and Leadership at Saint Mary's College of California in the Bay Area, where I also teach in the Global and Regional Studies and the Earth and Environmental Science programs. My research and teaching interests connect sustainability and social justice, applying participatory and ethnographic methodologies. I produce community-engaged scholarship that seeks to contribute towards a systemic transition to a more sustainable and just world for more people.
I received my PhD from the Department of Environmental Science Policy and Management at the University of California Berkeley (2015) and have a Masters in Integrative Bio-sciences from the University of Oxford (2008), where I was an Inlaks Scholar. I serve on the executive board of the Sustainable Consumption Research and Action Initiative, an international knowledge network of researchers and practitioners committed to building a flourishing and ecologically-sound society by changing the way we consume.
In Spring 2019, I was invited to the Alba Viotto Visiting Professor in Sociology at the University of Geneva. I recently presented Sustainable Consumption Institute sponsored keynote at the 2019 Hallsworth Conference on Healthy Cities at the University of Manchester.
