In my research, I seek to understand the different ways marginalized communities advocate against vulnerability-making processes from outside influences and top-down “solutions.â€ÌýÌý

In the environmental classes I teach, I ask students to identify other ways their identities -visible or invisible – contribute to how they understand and respond to different environmental issues. In my advocacy, I focus on the ways in which the resources or privileges I have can be best used by others in their community struggles.
