About Jackie
Jackie Ashkin is a scholar of science, technology, and the environment based in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on the politics of knowing and adapting to (coastal) ocean futures. She draws on the material properties of ocean water to better understand scientific knowledge practices and infrastructures, engage with the world-making role of technology, and examine the limits of neoliberal environmental governance. Through her work, Jackie seeks to rethink Eurocentric and colonial imaginations of environmental crisis that in turn shape what futures are within reach. She maintains an ongoing interest in indigenous studies, more-than-human lifeways, and art-science collaborations.
