research

 

My work explores how data shapes the world--and how people shape data. I study the politics of measurement, classification, and expertise, with a focus on environmental governance, agricultural systems, and emerging technologies.

​

Across diverse sites, from Hungarian vineyards to AI policy arenas, I examine how data practices make certain futures possible, while foreclosing others.

​

My work falls under several themes:

​

• Critical political ecology: a framework that explores how ecological knowledge and environmental governance are shaped by power, history, and ideology.

• Science and technology studies (STS) — I examine how concepts like objectivity, precision, and credibility are constructed, and whose ways of knowing are centred or marginalised.

• Datafication or quantification studies: how people and environments are turned into data, often to render them "legible" to decision-makers (governments, corporations, certification bodies).
