I am a rural sociologist studying agrarian change in northern Canada, with a specific focus on indigenous food sovereignty and sustainable subarctic/arctic agriculture. My research is based on on-going ethnographic fieldwork and archival research conducted in the Northwest Territories, Canada. My previous work considered gender and public health implications in livestock systems in East Africa, and I have also studied local food systems in the southeastern US. In general, my research contributes to the critical sociology of agriculture and seeks to center critical race theorists and indigenous scholarship in my work.
