My research draws on philosophical and historical approaches to address normative questions about climate change, analyzing how particular conceptions of nature, the environment, and the human structure—and constrain—socio-ecological relationships. I investigate how predominant systems of thought and action facilitate extractive practices that simultaneously destroy nature and harm vulnerable human groups, asking how alternative relations of partnership and reciprocity with the nonhuman world might redefine possibilities for ethical response. One strand of my research engages with feminist new materialism, environmental ethics, and ecofeminism to investigate these questions through the lens of agency and action, concepts whose conventional meanings are called into question by both climate change and the growing recognition that plants, animals, and ecosystems actively shape human culture and life. Another strand employs ecofeminist and critical frameworks to examine contemporary responses to ecological crises, questioning whether and how proposals for land use, food production, and technological intervention challenge or reinforce underlying dynamics of social and environmental domination.
