Hello and welcome! I am a queer author, lecturer and activist based in Berlin. With a focus on intersectional feminist praxis, my research and teaching cut across political ecology, science and technology studies, disability politics and transdisciplinary gender studies. My recent book Aquatopia: Climate Interventions (Routledge, 2023), co-written with May Joseph, is a study of global environmental politics. I am co-editor of the Kaleidoscope book series (Routledge) and co-editor of a special issue of Somatechnics on “Data Matters: (Un)doing Data and Gender in the Life Sciences” (Edinburgh University Press, 2019). I have published on ecology, health, technology, media, and gender in leading academic journals including Catalyst (forthcoming), SHIMA, and Somatechnics, and my poetry has appeared in Poetry Wales, The Hythe, Ink, Sweat & Tears, and Poetry International, among others. I hold a PhD in Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies with a certificate in Art and Philosophy from SUNY Stony Brook.

NEW BOOK

Aquatopia: Climate Interventions (Routledge, 2023) documents over a decade of participatory art projects by Harmattan Theater, an environmental performance ensemble based in New York City. Co-authored by Harmattan’s founding director May Joseph and associate director Sofia Varino, Aquatopia offers a critical account of interspecies, transdisciplinary engagements with climate change, colonial histories, and public space in precarious water-bound sites.

Directed by May Joseph (2013)

Far Rockaway was performed by Harmattan Theater on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2013, at Tribute Park, a NYC public park built as a memorial tribute to the over three hundred firefighters who died in the World Trade Center in 2001. The Park was washed away by Hurricane Sandy. Harmattan performed at the Park to mark the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy on the Far Rockaway peninsular, particularly Beach 116, which was entirely destroyed by the storm surge.
