Her research is guided by an interest in how social systems and marine ecosystems interact, the governance structures used to moderate those interactions, and the processes for integrating diverse values, knowledge systems, and priorities into policymaking. Her doctoral research focuses on the role of discourse in constituting the politics and policies related to aquaculture development and the equity implications of policy tradeoffs in this sector.
