She has published on a variety of topics including how class inequalities are amplified in educational settings and the biographical legacy of protest participation. Her scholarship is inseparable from her activist sensibility. She is especially committed to collaborations with the civil society sector, and serves as the head of the governing board of the Institute for Political Ecology, a CSO dedicated to fostering ecologically sustainable, just and democratic societies.
