My current research focus is linked to an Ocean Frontier Institute Large Research Grant on social license and aquaculture. I am most involved in the 'social license' and 'community dynamics’ components of this large project. Together with colleagues at Memorial, we are working on a range of topics related to aquaculture and social acceptability broadly defined including marine debris, salmon naturecultures, feed bio-economies, aquaculture as frontier industry, and eco-certification. Theoretically we work at the intersection between STS and political economy.
