My primary research interrogates pressing issues at the intersection of environmental political theory and practice, including catastrophic climate change, environmental racism, and climate disobedience. In working on these issues, I engage diverse literatures within political theory and across disciplines. For instance, I draw on Buddhist ethics to expose problems with geo-engineering, economics research to develop a new principle for distributing international climate burdens, and anti-speciesist theory to unpack the historical foundations of white supremacism. I also pursue work in the history of political thought and race theory, which has yielded several publications.
