Ph.D. in Geography She/her/hers

Summary

I am a feminist geographer working at the intersection of feminist, transportation, and infrastructure geographies in the global south. My research is motivated by a personal need to make urban public transportation responsive to the needs of women. I use qualitative, audio-visual and experimental methods that are culturally appropriate. Please look at my website for more details.

I am TA-ing GEOG 106 (introduction to human geography) and GEOG 210 (Introduction to Geotechnology).
