Sarah Stamp

I am a recent graduate of international development practice and planning, a masters degree program based in Brisbane, Australia. Originally from the US, I’ve been travelling abroad for several years, and have found Australia to be the place with which I most closely identify. My research interests are centered around issues of social and environmental justice, which I’ve studied vis-a-vis multiple and various sectors including agriculture and food security, indigeneity, education, and natural resource management.
