I have recently completed an MSc in Sociology (the course is called Culture & Society) at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I did my undergrad in law, and have some work experience in environmental and tech policy spaces. I am a qualitative researcher with a special interest in mix-method approaches to social sciences research. My work explores speculative methods, human-object relationships and ethics in technology and consumption. I am particularly interested in projects that challenge dominant narratives, democratise knowledge-production and use creative methodologies to think about global futures. I don’t look at methods as simply tools for data collection, I argue that they are narrative forms that can decentralise expertise, reimagine systems and surface ethical futures.
My personal animal liberation activism also influences my work, specifically in my perception of relationships the human species has with nonhuman entities, which has taught me to de-hierarchise some kinds of life over others, and refuse to privilege some issues as worthy of more consideration because of this. This posthuman political ecology bleeds into all of the research I participate in and is a fundamental defining characteristic. By bringing interdisciplinary research into this field (Pierre Bourdieu’s field), and using ethnographic and experimental methods, I explore questions like AI ethics, environmental futures, collective memory and techno-politics. I think that by employing radical approaches to analysing a field or a space, we can potentially see connections that spill over from such spaces (spaces you’d least expect them to spill over from), making everything seem like a complex monoculture with power being scattered all over the place. While a world like this can seem incomprehensible and hint at a depressing future, I think if we look closely at these systems and the narratives that drive them, there is potential to draft policy that can change things for the better.
I have experience conducting focus groups, interviews, analysing qualitative data and developing interdisciplinary frameworks that connect material culture, media and social transformation. My expertise lies in translating complex theoretical ideas into accessible, politically relevant research. With a strong interdisciplinary foundation, and a commitment to intellectual rigour, I am eager to contribute to innovative, socially impactful work.
