I completed my PhD in human geography in early 2023 and have been working as a research associate on a number of projects in the areas of conservation, climate change adaptation, intercultural collaboration, eco-anxiety and education since then. I am particularly interested in the interconnection of ecological and political crises and their solutions, and the importance of knowledge diversity in this space, which I explored in my PhD by investigating reconciliation, co-management and their interconnection in the South Australian context.
