My PhD research examines the relationship between populist movements and climate politics in contemporary Latin America. My research explores the linkages between left populist movements in government and resource extraction.

I teach at undergraduate level. I lead the level 4 module Introduction to World Politics and lecture on the level 5 module Environment and World Politics. In my teaching, I challenge my students’ assumptions about what counts as politics on a global level. I encourage students to think about world politics in ways that they haven’t before, for example by engaging with feminist and decolonial theory.

I also have a research interest in populism in the UK and Europe, and international politics more broadly.
