Overview
I am an interdisciplinary teacher and researcher working at the intersection of human geography and development studies. My research focuses on the spatial, ideological, and insurrectional dimensions of the political ecology of development in the urban Anthropocene. I address these themes through critical investigations of extractivist, infrastructural, and urbanizing megaprojects, and ethnographic explorations of the radical political possibilities that can emerge amidst the violence, failure, and contestation of such projects. I have conducted field research in Mexico, Uganda, Ghana, Ecuador, and Peru. My theoretical and methodological influences include historical geographical materialism, the psychoanalytic critique of ideology, gonzo journalism, surrealism, and psychogeography. 聽
