New paper with @drvanessalamb.bsky.social in @roadsides.bsky.social

We show how food preparation, primarily undertaken by older Karen women, is key to contesting long-proposed hydropower dams & water diversions in the Salween River Basin

Excited to discuss ‘feminism as socially engaged research’ in Bern on June 17. I’ll speak on the (im)possibilities & tensions of conducting ‘slow scholarship’ in fast-paced neoliberal academia as a precarious early-career scholar. Join us!

CfP ‘Feminist and Gendered Geographies of Resistance’ - RGS 2025. We are interested in a range of gendered resistance practices, whether on the frontlines or ‘everyday,’ to the social reproductive and care practices that enable movements. Pls submit abstracts to myself & @drvanessalamb.bsky.social

Recent article in @natureandspace.bsky.social: I examine long-proposed ‘amorphous’ dams & diversions in the Salween River Basin & show how speculation & rumour are deployed strategically by differently placed actors working towards project development or demise. Open access!
