About Kim

I am an environmental social scientist studying how people relate to the more-than-human world, and how these relationships shape environmental governance, society, and policy. My research focuses on rewilding, nature recovery, biosecurity, and animal management, exploring how ideas about nature are put into practice and how they shape the environments we share with other species
