She works at the intersection of justice, climate science, and learning and is a climate and anti-oppression activist, scientist, learning scientist, educator, mother, locally elected official, and many other things besides. Deb works in research-practice-policy partnerships from local community to international scales. She works to iteratively understand complex socio-ecological systems through design-based and action-oriented research while at the same time seeking to improve human-environment relationships and sustainability. She draws on an eclectic range of justice theory to inform her work in the world and to foster her continued journey for transformative liberation.
