Areas of Interest
My research interests span the vast intersection between insect ecology, agroecology, and sustainable development in temperate and tropical agroecosystems. My current research imparts on three main foci: 1) Agroecosystem diversification and integrated pest management, 2) Community-based, participatory action research inquiry, and 3) Sustainable livelihoods and adaptive capacity. In the past, I have conducted research in Venezuela, Texas, and Idaho to understand how traditional crop varieties and ecosystem-based management can influence insect pest populations, weed management, livestock grazing, and livelihood diversification in farming communities.
