I’m interested in the environment, social justice, cultural change and other ideas about making our world a better place.

I’m a PhD Candidate at UNSW and Lecturer with the Environment and Humanities Group in the Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture at UNSW.

My PhD Research is investigating Sydney’s urban commons and the social solidarity economy. You can read more about my research here.
