I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at The New School for Social Research in New York, where I study the overlapping relationships between people, the economy, and the environment. 

I am interested in questions related to:

• The production, distribution, and consumption of energy, and its relationship to environmental problems;

• Labor, both paid and unpaid, and its relationship to consumption and production processes;

• The economic growth and development of regions, and its relationship to social, economic, and environmental problems; and

• Critiques of individual, firm, and government-scale sustainability efforts.

Specializations: Feminist Political Economy, Ecological Economics, Urban and Regional Economics, Applied Econometrics, Qualitative/Ethnographic Methods, History of Economic Thought

Research Interests: The critique of political economy, household production, critiques of sustainability, theories of consumption, energy (production and consumption), local and regional economic development policy, waste and discards, unwaged work
