About

I started my career in the Caribbean and Central America with a focus on critical development studies, global poverty, and gender inequality. I now work with grassroots movements and frontline organisers who are defending land, dignity, and self-determination amidst structural violence, environmental ruin, and the enduring aftermaths of empire.

I strive to ensure that research is relevant to communities who are pursuing autonomy "from below" and integrated notions of health and wellbeing. We are committed to advancing social change and enacting alternative futures through co-designed participatory methods, creative arts, shared authorship, and non-commercial open access.

I continue to write about settler colonialism, masculinity, gun culture, and deaths of despair, as well as have been an on-site human rights observer, freelance reporter, and protective presence volunteer in conflict-affected regions ranging from Chiapas to Palestine. I also maintain commitments to independent, anti-corporate education (below).
