My research and teaching are motivated by a deep concern for the state of the environment and the political, economic and social institutions that produce and sustain degrading human and planetary relations. I have examined this through the relationship between knowledge, power and environmental action in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).  I am currently exploring methodologies that help to understand and to reconsider the purpose and design of collective organisations so that global knowledge and negotiating bodies may better reflect and protect diverse ways of knowing, being and living with the Earth.
