My three main current research focii are: (i) the contemporary and historical politics of forest governance in British Columbia; (ii) the political economy of biotechnology in Canada; and (iii) the development of neoliberal prescriptions (market-like mechanisms, privatization and commercialization schemes, etc) in environmental policy regimes.
