UNFCCC Narrative Dynamics
Discourse analysis of ENB daily reports & summaries (e.g., sovereignty, L&D, finance) with reproducible pipelines.
Open ThesisResearch
I study climate governance, policy design, and environmental justice. I leverage computer science methods—data pipelines, classification, and NLP— to analyze negotiation narratives and public discourse, grounding findings in community work and policy practice.
Overview
My work combines computational analysis (Python pipelines, topic/phrase modeling, metadata design) with qualitative methods to trace how ideas—sovereignty, loss & damage, finance—move across negotiations and public arenas.
Thesis: Narratives in UN Climate Negotiations
I analyze the evolution of sovereignty, loss & damage, and climate finance narratives using the Earth Negotiations Bulletin corpus (daily reports & summaries). Methods: structured scraping, metadata normalization, phrase-set curation, and NLP-assisted coding with human validation.
Climate & Development Lab (CDL)
Mapping opposition narratives (e.g., anti–offshore wind) across public Facebook groups in New England. Work spans data collection, labeling, classifier prototyping, and dashboarding for traceable evidence.
3CRS: Community-Driven Coastal Climate Research
Qualitative workshops and mapping (RI & ME) to surface community priorities and align resilience planning.
