I am an environmental social scientist working across disciplines in the study of sustainability transformations, specifically water/fisheries governance in the context of rapid hydropower and infrastructural development in Southeast Asia.
I draw on concepts and theories such as political ecology, complexity, social-ecological systems resilience, and critical institutionalism to explore 'wicked problems' (i.e., those with conflicting worldviews, values and epistemologies), and the role that conflict resolution, social learning and relationality might play in facilitating more sustainable and equitable outcomes for marginalised groups. I'm also interested in the role of policy frames, narratives and informal institutions in facilitating (or hindering) sustainability transformations.
In my work, I engage with the underlying ontological and epistemological debates around transformations and how we study complex systems, with an interest in the politics of knowledge production and alternative ways of knowing.
I enjoy working across disciplines and epistemic groups, including engineers, natural scientists, social scientists, communities, and policymakers to explore the complex environmental challenges we face as a society.
