Global Metropolitan Studies, Political Ecology, Science and Technology Studies

Research Description

My research focuses on international environmental governance of electronic waste recycling. My work crosses both environmental and social sciences through a political ecology and science studies approach. I am interested in questions around risk and hazards discourse; the politics of quantification, classification, and calculation; and the political economy of international environmental governance. I draw on critical ethnography for my methodological approach and am focusing on the practices of producing e-waste science.
