Madeline was born an uninvited guest on Coast Miwok territory and raised a traveler. Immersion in varied languages and locations lead her to a non-disciplinary research approach. Following from her MSc work, which brought together elements of ethnobiology and ecological psychology in the context of Trinidadian cacao agroforestry, Madeline’s PhD research is about borders and bordering, plants and planting, and people and their perception of possibility. This research takes place with the lands of the Syilx (Okanagan) peoples.

Living with narcolepsy, Madeline actively questions and counters temporally inaccessible expectations for academic labour.
