Research interests

My research lies at the intersections of anthropology, science and technology studies, and the social studies of climate. I am particularly interested in how different collectives produce and mobilize knowledge about environments, weather and the future.

Climate knowledge and forecasting

Ethnographic work on meteorology, climate prediction and local knowledge, including research with meteorologists and rain prophets in Ceará, Northeast Brazil. Forecasting is approached both as a scientific practice and as a social relation.

Science, technology and society

Research on scientific practice, expertise, institutions and sociotechnical mediations, attending to the relations among specialized knowledge, public policy and everyday life.

Uncertainty, risk and futures

The cultural and political dimensions of uncertainty, decision-making and modern promises of prediction and control.

Anthropocene and diverse knowledges

Environmental change and the relations among diverse systems of knowledge, including science, Indigenous peoples and social practices.
