Sophie is a human geographer specialising in the relationship between uneven development and disaster risk. She is particularly interested in the politics and governance of disasters: how power relations at multiple scales shape geographies of vulnerability and resilience; and the negotiation of (alternative) post-disaster development trajectories. Her research explores the emergence of local agency to resist or transform structural root causes of risk, drawing on theoretical approaches including the political ecology of risk, critical development geography, citizenship, social contracts and political philosophy. To date her research has focused empirically in the Caribbean, the Andaman Islands, South India and Nepal.

Sophie has a PhD in Human Geography and an MSc in Disasters, Development and Adaptation from King’s College London, and a BA in Geography from the University of Cambridge. Prior to joining the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 in 2022, Sophie was Senior Lecturer in Development Geography at Oxford Brookes University, and before that an Early Career Fellow in Liberal Arts department at King’s College London.
