About
I'm a graduate student interested in a range of interconnected issues revolving around sustainability, development, belief, and human cognition.
These include social-ecological systems, the role of science in policy, community consultation, and global-local linkages, broadly conceived.
My thesis, currently titled 'Homo Effectivus,' focuses on adapting insights from cognitive science to inform how we can think about humans when studying our role in complex systems.
With my colleagues, I'm also co-founder of UBC's new International Development Research Network, based at the Liu Institute for Global Issues.
In addition to sustainability, development and cognitive science, I have a range of other interests, including history, religion, international relations, philosophy, postcolonial studies, critical theory, and new media. I'm open to new and interesting collaboration in any of these fields.
