Biography

I am a critical human geographer whose teaching and scholarship explore the relationship between nature, labor, technology, and the history of empire, with an emphasis on the world ocean. My primary research is on global supply chains and the logistics industry; other projects focus on the oceanographic sciences and the politics of sound.
