I work with students whose interests focus on regulatory and policy processes, the politics of expertise, political identity, and the ethnographic method. The list below is illustrative of the kinds of thesis and dissertation research I supervise or co-supervise.  These projects are grounded in political geography and related fields, but they are often highly interdisciplinary. If you are interested in working with me, please send me your CV and a description of your interests.
