My research addresses issues of environmental politics in relation to political economy, feminist theory, and the history of political thought. From this perspective I write on a range of topics including, recently, the concept of the externality, the history of basic income, and the idea of natural capital. My book manuscript in progress, Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature, theorizes the place of nature in capitalism and offers a novel reading of twentieth century political economic thought informed by feminist and ecological perspectives.
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.
