I am a human geographer and a doctoral candidate at the Department of Geography & Environmental studies. I have also taught at the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies since 2005. My academic research interests are located within the domain of political ecology of water access and use in the global south. My research seeks to provide a clearer understanding of strategies that shape water access and use in urban informal settlements and how the resulting inequities shape their wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
