Biography

My research engages with US communities socially and ecologically impact by the toxic legacies of the "war on terror." By evaluating perceptions of national security and the military normal against the backdrop of toxicity and the neoliberal expansion of military industry, I seek to hone in on domestic forms of resistance and refusal to US military projects to explore the ways in which insurgent living makes living and dying well possible in militarized- toxified environments.
