“I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay.”
​– Iyanla Vanzant

Abolitionist Ecologies
My research explores environmental, energy, and climate justice using critical race and feminist political ecology lenses. Broadly speaking, I am interested in race, place, gender, justice, and nature. My auto-ethnographic doctoral work titled “Post-Apocalyptic Environmental Politics: Women of Color, Climate Justice and State-Corporate Crime in Louisiana” investigates how Gulf Coast Black and Indigenous women navigate contradictory relationships with energy and petrochemical industries, resist environmental racism, and advocate for energy and climate solutions.

​I have conducted over two years’ worth of participant observation with various community-based organizations and conducted in-depth ecowomanist oral histories (2-5 hours each) with over 50 women of color in Gulf Coast Louisiana. My scholarship will ultimately help democratize environmental governance, diversify leadership within environmental policy and planning, and innovate feminist mixed methods in environmental sociology, geography, and feminist anthropology.
