Geographic data is a tool of power, and its co-production is a political act.
My research sits at the intersection of geography, spatial data and governance. For fifteen years I have worked on territories under pressure: where aid policies, land rights, conservation and agricultural practices collide.
From Laos to Myanmar, the Caribbean to the Sahel, and the drylands of Northern Kenya, my work draws on transdisciplinary and participatory approaches: multi-stakeholder mapping, geographic information systems, spatial analysis, artificial intelligence applied to field data.
