My research explores how energy transitions can be just, inclusive, and sustainable in fragile and contested contexts. I investigate what social justice means in the pluriverse, where many worlds coexist, and how businesses can respect human rights while navigating uncertainty. I study how Indigenous struggles reshape global sustainability, and how legitimacy and trust are negotiated in contested energy projects. This includes examining how organizations adapt and build resilience in contexts of insecurity and limited statehood. Drawing on political ontology and decolonial thought, I analyze how energy governance can respect body-territory, place attachment, and ontological struggles. My vision is to advance research that bridges business, society, and Indigenous knowledge to foster more equitable, plural, and sustainable futures.
