Biography

Christina is an academic, architect, and musician whose research broadly focuses on the intersection of environmental and economic thought specifically within the design disciplines.

Her Ph.D. dissertation investigated the interconnection of design and resource extraction in Canada and the United States by researching the history of surface mining and land reclamation.

Christina is also a visual artist and electronic musician.
