She holds a PhD in geography and has prior experience working for a rural anti-poverty agency in Massachusetts and as a postdoctoral research fellow with SHARECITY at Trinity College Dublin. Her research focuses on the economic politics of everyday life, particularly through the lens of food provisioning in cities, communities, and households.

Research Interests: Oona explores diverse and community economies, urban and rural food challenges, food justice, commons and commoning, qualitative methods, and the intersection of gender, care, and social reproduction with food systems. She emphasizes grassroots social innovation as a site for transformative social change, prioritizing equity and justice. Her work engages with urban agriculture, sustainable lifestyles, and political ecology, often analyzing nature-society relations in food systems.
Advising and Grants: Oona actively recruits students interested in topics like food waste, food sharing, and urban/rural food policy. She encourages research that adopts a reparative and critical stance toward power dynamics in food systems. She is available for supervision across multiple days, though specific grant details are not provided.
Labs and Teams: She is involved in the CULTIVATE project, which co-designs food-sharing innovations for resilience. This project aligns with her broader interest in fostering socially equitable and sustainable food systems through collaborative research.
