Her research explores how systems of power shape environmental subjectivity and responses to climate risk, emphasizing intersectional feminist theory, ethnographic methods, and the interplay between social structures and ecological practices. She critiques environmental policies through the lens of marginalized communities and advocates for theoretical-practical integration in solving ecological crises.
Recent publications center on prepping culture, emotional landscapes of risk, and the political economy of sustainability. Ford employs qualitative analysis to reveal how cultural narratives and emotional responses influence climate adaptation and resistance strategies. Her work underscores the need for inclusive environmental politics that prioritize social justice and ecological balance.
As an educator, Ford uses feminist and embodied pedagogies to foster critical engagement with human-environment dynamics. She mentors students in general advising areas, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and addressing environmental challenges.
