With some examples from my favourite pop girlie, Chappell Roan, I explore the heteronormativity of apocalypse narratives and instead advocate for queer environmental ethics, which look beyond attempts to save the future.
I am so excited to see this article out! Published today, my latest article reviews work within human geography on climate futures, and work outside of human geography on queer time. Here, I argue that planetary imaginaries are entangled in the policing of intimacies.

This week the first article from my PhD was published! This piece explores the belief that our planet is hurtling towards self-inflicted extinction. By working closely with Extinction Rebellion, I examine how demands to halt planetary extinction shape the future.

Our methodological critique of The Cass Review has been peer-reviewed published & is therefore way more authoritative than Cass which is un-peer-reviewed.
Streeting/Starmer can no longer claim Cass is “gold standard” or “landmark”.
Cass is just junk science.

This brilliantly ties together difficult feelings, family dysfunction and a compassion for the difficult realities of working-classness. Such a clever piece of writing
