My research is empirically concerned with how hazardous materials are sensed, managed, regulated, and governed. I am developing a critical transdisciplinary praxis that works across the social, physical, and natural sciences, as well as the arts and humanities. This work assembles publics within and beyond the academy; I have co-produced research with a range of publics, including government agencies, industry associations, trade unions, NGOs, activists, and artists.

My work is theoretically and ethically located at the intersections of feminist science and technology studies and human geography. This enables me to co-produce interventions which move beyond critique and ‘damage-based’ methodologies. The pursuit of epistemic justice underpins my transdisciplinary praxis, and I center the knowledge of (often marginalised) publics most heavily affected by pollution. I’ve worked at sites of disposal and contamination across the UK, Greece, Tanzania, Poland, and the Netherlands, and traced the relations in-between.
