Areas of expertise

I am interested in studying how conflict prevention works in an era of climate catastrophe and how gendered norms and power structures increase or mitigate the likelihood of climate-related insecurities. From a top-down perspective, I seek to understand what the potential of new international frameworks and interventions linking conflict, climate change and gender equality is for the development of transformative gender-sensitive national policies on land, natural resources and environmental justice in post-war societies. And who can take advantage of new rights and opportunities and who remains marginalized. From a bottom-up perspective, I study how indigenous communities experience climate-related security risks, and how they develop resilient practices to prevent conflict, displacement and worsening of livelihood conditions.
