I completed my PhD in Human Geography with a specialization in Environmental Studies from the University of Toronto’s Department of Geography & Planning. I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the Culinaria Research Centre at the University of Toronto Scarborough before joining Bishop’s.
My research interests include: food sovereignty, agroecology, climate change, environmental justice, social movements, agriculture, food security, labour and equality in the food system, urban political ecology, and cooperatives and other alternative economic initiatives (especially in food and farming).
I have published in journals such as Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, The Journal of Peasant Studies, and Agriculture and Human Values.
