I'm broadly interested in energy-extractive labour geographies, especially in Canada. In my current project, I try to explain and situate the reasons some energy workers in Alberta do not support - and in some cases are actively organized against - Just Transition and fossil fuel wind-down policies. Empirically, I look at the ways colonial categories of race and gender have shaped the formation of the extractive working class in labour struggles in the central Alberta region, and how they have engendered an attachment to extractive culture that endures in the present.
