My current research analyzes the governance of human-environment relations in four ways: 1) by exploring the impact of new technologies, such as blockchain, on environmental governance; 2) by using innovative methodology—such as collaborative event ethnography (CEE)— to document relations of power in environmental governance; 3) by analyzing how the rise of neoliberal ideology and associated market-based approaches have changed the landscape of environmental governance; and 4) by documenting how transnational social movements are organizing to resist this transformation.
