Research Interests

My work broadly focuses on the politics of environmental justice, settler colonialism, and Indigenous sovereignty in North America. My current research positions salmon aquaculture in British Columbia, Canada as a place from which to explore how Indigenous and state sovereignties are enacted in water-centered and maritime regions. I question the forms that “blue futures” might take by investigating how efforts to grow ocean-based economies are advanced by institutions, impact coastal communities, and intersect with Indigenous movements to reclaim coastal seascapes. I am also interested in the politics and processes of environmental conservation, renewable energy transitions, food movements, and multispecies relations. I have collaborated with Indigenous communities, nonprofits, and federal agencies in California, Oregon, Washington State, and British Columbia and I have worked with traditional knowledge-holders, school districts, and educators to integrate Native American Studies in K-12 schools in California.
