Collected Work
Political Ecologies of Futurity: Storytelling Plantation Afterlives, Climate Erasures, and Socioecological Justice
This co-edited collection examines the entanglements of memory, place, and nature in the face of global socioecological transformation. Speaking from a range of disciplinary perspectives and drawing on different epistemological and methodological approaches, the chapters examine the plurality of climate change geographies.
“Beyond the Anthropocene Ark Ecology of Climate Havens and Spaceships”
This discussion of Malcom Ferdinand’s Decolonial Ecology: Thinking from the Caribbean World (2022) argues that Ferdinand maps the double fracture constituting modernity haunting its socioecologies—one fracture characterized by racialized social inequality, the other by intersecting ecological crises.
