My research focuses on environmental debates - in particular their underlying political economic, ecological, and semantic dimensions and consequences. Whether it's oil pipelines, high-speed trains, nuclear power, sustainable livestock management, "green growth", plant-based proteins, or new proposed efficient technologies - I am fascinated by the environmental arguments and counter-arguments made about them and the material social and ecological consequences of pursuing various environmental policies over others.

My interdisciplinary research interests thus come together under the theme of Ecological Political Economy. This means I study the complex interactions between political economic structures and the environment, and I aim to research this relationship both at a theoretical level and through critical qualitative analyses and empirical case studies. Specifically, I have examined case studies involving Alberta's bituminous sands, high-speed rail development; nuclear energy; and livestock production, with my most recent book examining debates about "green growth".
