I am a London-based geographer exploring interdisciplinary, feminist and creative approaches to environmental knowledge making. My current project - Advancing Feminist and Creative Methods for Sensing Air and Atmosphere - explores the value of feminist principles, creative practices and design justice tools for citizen-led monitoring of air quality and weather patterns in a time of climate crisis. My first book, Sensing Art in the Atmosphere: Elemental Lures and Aerosolar Practices (Routledge, 2020) investigates the role of artistic and activist initiatives in expanding aesthetic and political orientations toward atmosphere, aeromobility and the elements. I am an active member of the Aerocene Community and a co-founder (with Sophie Dyer) of the feminist satellite imaging project open-weather. I currently work as Senior Lecturer in GeoHumanities at Royal Holloway University of London where I teach at the intersection of geography and the arts and humanities.
