Jennifer Langill is a Lecturer in the Department of International Development at King's College London. She holds a PhD in Geography from McGill University, a Master of Arts in Geography and Environmental Studies from the University of Toronto, and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Global Development Studies from Queen's University. Prior to joining King's College London in 2025, Jennifer was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol, supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Her research focuses on feminist human geography and explores intersections between critical development studies and nature-society relations. Research areas include feminist political ecology, human-environment relations, rural livelihoods, and intersectionality, particularly within the context of the Global South, including Thailand, Laos, and Amazonian Peru. Jennifer employs qualitative ethnographic methods to investigate stories of development and understand how these narratives influence social power dynamics. She is also involved in undergraduate teaching, supervising students on topics related to climate, environment, and unequal development.
