Research Interests
My thesis research focuses on Kurdish mountaineering and paragliding, the role of ecological appeals in creating international investment, and the overlap of military activity and outdoor recreation. I am interested in responsibility, obligation, risk, and debt; how do we find each other, connect, or decide to cut bonds when there is a lot at stake.

On the side, I help coordinate a consortium studying the environmental impacts of war. We are interested in how modern warfare inflicted specific, long-term damage on soil and the ways this violence continues to eat at local populations. The consortium is currently active in Ukraine and the US, although our members also have expertise in Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, and the South Pacific. You can learn more about the project here.
