My work has variously interrogated topics such as globalisation, nationalism, cosmopolitanism and interculturalism. I have previously led an ERC Advanced Grant on Indigeneity in the Contemporary World and am now focusing my research efforts on performance-based arts in the Anthropocene.

  I would like to join an interdisciplinary project on some aspect of environmental activism where the arts play an influential role. I\'m especially interested in climate and water-related crises and would be keen to investigate how they have been taken up in live arts and/or exhibition work.
