Biography
Jennifer is a feminist human geographer, working at the intersect of critical development studies and nature-society relations. Conceptually, her work draws from feminist approaches to political ecology and critical livelihood scholarship. She is interested in the relationships between social and political marginalization, human-environment connections, livelihood activities, and individual lifeworlds. Her work is empirically based in the Global South, particularly Thailand, Laos, and Amazonian Peru.
Prior to joining the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol, Jennifer completed her PhD in Geography (McGill University), MA in Geography and Environmental Studies (University of Toronto), and BA in Global Development Studies (Queen's University).
