She is a political ecologist focused on the implications of China’s growing investments in land and other resources in Southeast Asia and beyond. Her research examines conflicts around transnational land investments, the promotion of monoculture plantations at the expense of more biodiverse production systems, and the rise of private sector sustainable governance initiatives, with a focus on rubber trees.
