My scholarship explores critical legal research (CLR), critical environmental law, law and social movements studies, and rural studies.

In my book, Remaking Appalachia: Ecosocialism, Ecofeminism, and Law, I argue that contemporary crises in the region and beyond cannot be resolved through traditional legal reform. Instead, I advocate for broader, transformative change that targets economic, social, and political systems that operate above or behind the law.

For the latest in teaching, see my new course on Law, Social Movements, and Social Change.

As a core form of praxis, I have engaged in the clinical space and related forums to incorporate CLR precepts and methodologies within social justice lawyering.
