Landscapes are not backdrops
for historical action: they are themselves active.

The Mushroom at the End of the World:
On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins,
Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing





My primary areas of research are Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the military-industrial complex, queer theory, sci-fi, ecology and postcolonial studies

I conduct my research with acedemia and media, as well as on-site residencies in which I record natural environments and get to know the landscape intimately.

I read & teach Speculative Fiction in the form of A Sci-Fi Curriculum, a multimedia reading group I run 4 times a year in universities, galleries, and online.
