Research Interests

My research focus is the intersection of politics and the environment. Climate change and geography play a major role in development and international relations, especially as the climate crisis continues to develop. My PhD thesis will focus on China’s investment and management of hydropower projects on transnational rivers, and how their involvement in these contested waterways alter the riparian relations and water allocation in these regions.

I am also working on a research project about western media representations of eco-fascism. This project explains the origins and development of eco-fascism in its many incarnations, the examples of eco-fascism in popular media and culture, as well as its popularity in white supremacy groups.

Biography

I have recently completed a Master’s in Politics and International Relations (specialist pathway in Southeast Asia) at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). My master’s thesis was a comparative analysis of how the hydro-hegemony of China and Egypt affected the water management and allocation of fresh water, as well as the hydro-relations within their regions. Prior to my master’s, I completed an Honours in Conflict Studies and Human Rights at the University of Ottawa. This provided me with a multidisciplinary background in development, economics, political science, gender studies, geography and international relations, all of which were utilised to understand how conflicts start, develop, resolve and protract.
