Her research activity revolves around multiscalar environmental justice, integrating critical and ecofeminist perspectives in order to understand environmental (in)justice from a systemic, decolonial and ecosocial viewpoint. Thus, viewing interactions across different scales and dimensions, looking at the structural origin of injustice and the effects on local or micro scales.
