I am an anthropologist, also informed by science studies, specialising in social and environmental change, with research experience in Belize, Kenya and the UK. I am a Lecturer in Anthropology of Development at the University of Edinburgh.
My research interests include infrastructure planning; watershed interventions; and the production and use of scientific predictions and other forms of foreknowledge for environmental decision-making. Across these domains, I am interested in understanding social and material dimensions of uncertainty, translation, affect and power. My latest project ‘Envisioning Emergent Environments’ examines knowledge negotiations for watershed assessment/management projects in Belize, Central America.
