RESEARCH INTERESTS I am a Human Geographer interested in society-environment interactions. My research programme is organised under the general theme: environmental governance and politics of resource use. My research interests fall broadly under the following areas: - Māori co-governance and indigenous knowledge - Environmental governance and development - Political economy and political ecology - Science, knowledge and policy I have conducted research in the Philippines focused on the sociopolitical dimensions of water governance and development with a particular interest in the role of local government in mediating the needs of local communities with national objectives. Since 2012, I have been involved in collaborative transdisciplinary research projects that focus on knowledge production for sustainability in the context of marine environments and urban water. I also conduct research using feminist and critical theories to explore knowledge production and methodologies. I am also part of the Auckland-based Puāwai Writing Collective, which performs feminist research focused on slow scholarship, care, and the neoliberal university.
