I am an early career scholar working across critical security studies, political ecology and ethnographic methods with an interest in the political economy and ecology of war making, preparation and profiteering. My doctoral thesis interrogates military approaches to socio-ecological stewardship and the reconfiguration of climate governance and green industrialisation into battlefield and business opportunities for European militaries and military industries. As Postdoctoral Research Associate with War & Geos I map military supply chains and their socio-ecological impacts. My work is published across non/academic outlets in multiple languages, and has received several awards, including for “game-changing” postgraduate research. I’m also a Board Director with Scientists for Global Responsibility, listed Expert with the Forum on the Arms Trade and a co-founder of the Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice.

Between September 2022 and February 2026 I completed my doctoral thesis with University of Sussex, titled 'Decarbonisation as Warfighting Opportunity: Military Climate Governance, the Green Transition and Struggles for Socio-Ecological Justice', fully funded by the ESRC. I currently have work under review with Political Geography, Geopolitics, Geoforum and Globalizations, and have previously published on the militarisation of sustainable finance, eco-militarised foreign policy, and planetary health.

Since 2020, I've also worked as research and policy officer with a range of civil society organisations, co/authoring public-facing reports and commentaries on topics such as militarism and socio-ecological (in)justice, gender and the arms trade, militarisation of higher education, autonomous weapons, and victim assistance in mine action.

Overall, I am interested in the intersections of militarism, extractivism, patriarchy and racialisation within global imperial order, and employ feminist and ethnographic methods to map the political economies and ecologies of war, as well as the social and ecological violence that precedes and succeeds military violence.

I have taught on under- and postgraduate modules in International Relations and International Development at the University of Sussex, such as War in International Relations; Environmental Perspectives on Development; and Environment, Resources, Security. I am happy to do guest lectures across IR, security/military studies, political ecology and political geography.
