In my research as a human geographer I explore the interface between society and nature. I investigate the ways local communities in both urban and rural surroundings come to terms with the transforming spaces and environments, which includes research into the politics of conservation of biodiversity. Often focussing on the local scale as a lens through which to examine broader societal and political transformations, there is a crucial multi-scalar dimension in my research.
