Project Details
Description
As a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, I worked on an ERC-funded project, Urban Ecologies, researching urban chickens in London. This research responds to changing demands on food systems, ecologies, and urban space, seeking to understand how non-human life is governed and regulated in cities. The project speaks to themes of therapeutic urbanism, urban metabolism, and more-than-human theory.
