Pinnock is a PhD candidate in the Department of Politics at 91亚色. Her research interests lie at the intersection of feminist political economy, political ecology, globalization and critical development studies where she explores the everyday politics of life work. Her dissertation project explores the constructions of indigeneity among African-descended marginalized workers as a political-economic response to the conditions of economic development, using the tourism sector in Jamaica as a case study. Pinnock鈥檚 community work also gives rise to an interest in diaspora studies and community-based research.
