I am Professor of Environmental Politics and Director of the ESRC-funded Centre for Joined-Up Sustainability Transformations (JUST) at the University of Manchester. My research focuses on relationships between environmental (un)sustainability and social (in)justice, applying insights from intersectional ecofeminist and other critical political theories.
I use qualitative methods and participatory approaches to research, always aiming to do research with people that contributes to eco-social change. I have been an editor of Environmental Politics journal for more than ten years. I am an immigrant to the UK from Canada and have lived here for over 20 years.
