Research

My research interests vary widely, but they all tend to focus around the intersection between natural and built environments and human culture. Currently I'm focused on the following:

  • Drug Policy
  • Harm Reduction
  • Ethnobotany of Psychoactive Plants
  • Prohibition, and its effect on 'black markets'
  • Program evaluation and policy analysis in the non-profit sector
  • Racial and Economic Justice
  • Transhumanist Extropian Technology
  • Planning for 'post peak-everything'
  • Urban Food Systems
  • Informal settlements in the 'Global South'
  • Community resilience
  • Post-disaster planning
  • The planning of 'temporary metropoles' (Burning Man, the Mina during the Hajj, The Kumbh Mela etc)
  • The zoning of 'alternative' building technologies for residential construction
  • Indigenous rights and community organizing

I'm always interested in collaborative projects and connecting with people who have similar interests. Feel free to drop me a line.
