Public Engagement & Collaborations

Beyond research and teaching, I actively work to build infrastructures of exchange between academia, policy, and wider publics. I believe that addressing complex environmental challenges requires collaboration across disciplinary, institutional, and societal boundaries. My engagement activities foster dialogue between researchers, policymakers, civil society organisations, artists, and local communities, creating opportunities for knowledge co-production and mutual learning.

Stories, Images & Futures

Some forms of environmental change cannot be fully captured through academic writing alone.

My work combines ethnography with film, storytelling, climate fiction, participatory methods and visual experimentation to explore how people experience floods, waste, infrastructures and uncertain futures.

By working across different media, I seek to make research accessible, collaborative and publicly relevant.
