My research addresses issues of environmental politics in relation to political economy, feminist theory, and the history of political thought. From this perspective I've written on a range of topics, from disasters to Donna Haraway, biocapital to basic income. My dissertation, “Free Gifts: Nature, Households, and the Politics of Capitalism," addresses the place of nature in theories of politics and economics in the twentieth century, and investigates prospects for the twenty-first.
I hold a BA in political science from Stanford, an MSc in Nature, Society, and Environmental Policy from Oxford, and a PhD in political science from Yale.
