I am an interdisciplinary scholar in the Department of Human Ecology in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis, researching the intersections of social and environmental justice, with an emphasis on feminist theories and methods.
My research areas include studying gender inequality, environmental justice, and health disparities in urban, rural, and disaster contexts. I have two main emphasis in my research program: (1) studying environmental injustices, risks and hazards, in the context of climate change; and (2) investigating health disparities related to intimate partner violence (IPV). My research continues to evolve in studying resilience, stress, and vulnerability to disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
