 I am a broadly trained human-environment geographer with specializations in feminist, health, and agro-food geographies.

 

I draw heavily on science and technology studies, medical anthropology, and critical development studies in my research and teaching.

 

I have over 7 years of research experience across North India investigating sustainable agriculture, health, gender, and food and nutrition security. I have two years experience working in the NGO sector in India prior to beginning my academic career.

​

My research examines the complex interplay among processes of human health and wellbeing, ecological change, and everyday sociospatial relations.

 

I am interested in the political-economic and socio-cultural logics that underwrite certain international development policies, with a particular focus on the spatial effects and affects of global health  and development policies in action. I trace these policies to see how they are understood, enacted, and come to matter in the everyday lives of all sorts of human and nonhuman bodies.

I am originally from Madison, WI but have grown to love the deserts and monsoons of both India and Arizona. In my free time I like to be outside, try new cooking experiments, relax with music, or get caught up on podcasts.
