Assistant Professor

Biography

Human activities have a profound and lasting impact on our environment. These changes in turn, come back to impact our own health and well-being - often unfairly as we see again and again those who pollute the least suffering the worst of our changing environment.
My work involves examining, and teaching, how our activities lead to these changes in the environment and the impact these changes have upon us as a global community.
