School of Social and Political Science

Background

I have quite a diverse academic and professional background in South Africa and am now putting down new roots in Scotland as an early career scholar and part-time editor/writer. I am interested in anything to do with ecology and society intersecting - especially in knowledge production, politics, and pedagogy. The ecological feminist philosophy of Valerie Plumwood and the decolonial ecology of Malcom Ferdinand are rich sources of inspiration for my critical approach.
