My research interests involve transience and migration, our evolving relationship with the natural world, and our impact upon it. How is our system of leaving, moving, and settling affecting the natural environment and our relationship with it, both in rural and urban areas? What challenges do migration, development, and urbanization pose for human security? How will we evolve to reflect these challenges? I want to explore ways we can engage transient and fixed populations within their social-ecological systems and develop the tools and answers they need to build a better world.
