A rhizome has neither beginning nor end, but always a middle (milieu), between things, inter-being, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhizome is alliance, uniquely alliance. The tree imposes the verb “to be”, but the fabric of the rhizome is the conjunction, “and… and… and…” This conjunction carries enough force to shake and uproot the verb “to be” […] to establish a logic of the AND, overthrow ontology, do away with foundations, nullify endings and beginnings.
(Deleuze and Guattari)
My research addresses the role of imagination in an age of environmental crisis and asks how we might (re)think earthly relations to bring about ecologically resilient and socially inclusive futures.
My approach draws from a variety of disciplines including (eco)phenomenology, new materialism, process philosophy and ecocritical perspectives.
I engage modalities in research, learning and teaching that promote self-critical transformation and ethically responsible praxis.
Having previously worked 10+ years for a variety of environmental and sustainability organizations, I have developed a perspective that values certain reform environmentalisms while challenging the worldview(s) from which they emerge.
