Research interests
I am a cultural geographer working at the intersection of social theory, philosophy, and the geohumanities. My research centres on three key activities: - theorising geophilosophical approaches to planetary crises - advancing conceptual innovation in geographical ethics - examining the value and vocation of theory Underscoring these research activities is a conceptual investment in the rationalism of Spinoza, the schizoanalytic cartographies of Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, and in the heterodox experiments of non-representational theory.
