I am a researcher and educator seeking to reimagine a better and more just world for all species. I鈥檓 here to share knowledge, assist with social science research design and improve social data literacy
I am eager to work with new collaborators who are interested in:
鈥⑻ committing to transformational change
鈥⑻ thinking outside the box and rejecting the status quo, including unhelpful social constructs
鈥⑻ innovating with social science methods
鈥⑻ challenging power structures and improving justices for all species
I am available to collaborate on research projects, support government with research design and administration and supervise Honours, Masters and PhD students. Ph.D. scholarships are available for high-achieving students (with H1/High Distinction in UG and/or Masters by Research) under my supervision.

My research focuses on three main interrelated themes with a focus on justice, inclusion and innovation
Innovating with social science methods
This research theme focuses on thoughtful and meaningful application of social science methods. Combining a diversity of research methods, including social network analysis, mental modelling, complex system modelling, perception matrices and integrated mixed methods design, I seek deeper insights than can be gained from using individual methods alone. My approach emphasises collaborative solutions that respond directly to the research context.

Advancing critical and relational research
This research theme applies a critical lens, drawing on theories like political ecology and postcolonialism to expose power dynamics and historical inequalities within conservation efforts. Relational theory plays a key role, emphasising the interconnectedness of humans with/as nature. By critically examining these relationships, it becomes possible to develop more just and sustainable approaches to protecting Earth鈥檚 biodiversity.

Safeguarding life on Earth
This research theme explores the challenges of biodiversity preservation and protection. Political ecology sheds light on power dynamics and the influence of economic forces on land-use decisions. Social psychology and cultural anthropology contribute by exploring the motivations, values, and knowledge systems of private landholders. These fields inform commons management to understand the potential for collective action among landholders. By critically examining these social and cultural dynamics, it becomes possible to develop innovative and equitable strategies for protecting biodiversity.
