Her research focuses on cultural values and environmental conflicts due to land-use changes in rural areas worldwide. Other current research includes extractivism and environmental conflicts in the Arctic region, nuclear supply chain and environmental justice struggles in post-Soviet spaces, and coal extraction conflicts in southwestern Siberia, Russia.
