I am a critical tourism scholar and Lecturer in Tourism and Hospitality at Northumbria University, United Kingdom. My research attends to material-affective atmospheres, and the imbrications of spatiotemporality and more-than-human agencies in nature-based tourism and protected areas. My research is contextualized by the contemporary geologic era of planetary-wide environmental crises, anthropogenic inscription, and precarity - the Anthropocene. I engage posthumanism and non-representational praxis in my research as philosophical, theoretical, and methodological spaces for thinking-with and researching-with nonhumans. I am particularly interested in more-than-human conservation possibilities - in tourism and as an embodied ethics for living and being-with nonhumans. 

My research interests include:

• Critical tourism topics (broadly)

• Human-nature encounters and relationships (broadly)

•  Community-led research

• Naturescapes, protected areas, and parks

• Unsettling and decolonizing tourism practices and research

• Tourism, climate change, and the Anthropocene

• Posthuman philosophical, theoretical, and methodological approaches

• Multi-modal, qualitative methodological practices, sensory attunement, and novel (re)presentational practices

• Embodied relational research 

• Possibilties of more-than-human conservation futures attuned to nonhuman agencies, affectivity and atmospheres, and troubling chrono- and spatio-normativity in research -with relations.
