Blanche de Moidrey

I am a postgraduate researcher at the Global Development Institute in the School of Education, Environment, and Development.

My PhD research project, supervised by Dr. Charis Enns and Prof. Tanja Bastia, seeks to reconceptualise the relations between humans and nature through a care ethics framework. I engage with both a feminist and Indigenous approach to the ethics of care. I am particularly interested in understanding care as a way of being and knowing with the more-than-human. I intend to conduct ethnographic fieldwork in both the UK and New Zealand, engaging with Māori perspectives on the more-than-human. 

I have presented research findings at the International Conference for Undergraduate Research (ICUR) and Humanities Seminars at Darwin College, University of Cambridge.

I am also a member of the Resources, Environment, and Development (RED) and Power, Inequality, and Activism (PIA) research groups.
