I am a critical tourism scholar and Lecturer in Tourism and Hospitality at Northumbria University, United Kingdom. My research attends to material-affective atmospheres, and the imbrications of spatiotemporality and more-than-human agencies in nature-based tourism and protected areas. My research is contextualized by the contemporary geologic era of planetary-wide environmental crises, anthropogenic inscription, and precarity - the Anthropocene. I engage posthumanism and non-representational praxis in my research as philosophical, theoretical, and methodological spaces for thinking-with and researching-with nonhumans. I am particularly interested in more-than-human conservation possibilities - in tourism and as an embodied ethics for living and being-with nonhumans.

Recent research projects attend to matters of cultural sensitivity, Settler identity and reconciliation in tourism with a particular focus on tourism objects in relations of reconciliation, interpretation in protected areas, and fostering sensitivity in Indigenous tourism.
