I am an environmental and development anthropologist. My research is multidisciplinary in nature, drawing on Anthropology, Environmental Sciences, and Development Studies perspectives. My particular research interests are the social dimension of natural resources conflicts (protected areas
management), climate change adaptation, sustainable farming and food security, displacement and resettlement as well as post-disaster recovery. I love working with communities closely by listening to their voices and empowering them in the decision-making process through participatory
research methods such as ethnography, and participatory action research to develop co-designed sustainability policies. I welcome inquiries from students who are interested in understanding environmental sustainability from the social science perspective.
