Research Interest  

My research focuses on multispecies politics— intersecting the concerns of posthumanism and those of the environmentalism of the poor. My work catalogues historical coexistences, alliances, and struggles within and across species lines, not only to reveal the morethanhuman communities that are lost to the tunes of modernity but also how the past continue to shape the present times. Working to reconfigure political concepts and institutions that takes into account the presence, labor, and agency of nonhuman beings/things, my research takes a comparative theoretical approach, and is rooted in global indigenous and nonwestern perspectives and life-worlds.
