Climate Change Activism, Critical Political Economy, Social Movements, Civil Disobedience
I'm a critical political economist researching climate change activism. I try to find out how social movements seek to transform the political economy towards greater justice and sustainability. I'm interested in the use of specific protest tactics, mainly disruptive forms of protest. My research also covers state repression and criminalisation of protest around the world. More broadly, I'm interested in how people exercise political agency to address climate change. Earlier in my career, I focused on housing activism and anti-austerity movements.
