Broadly, Dr. Gray is interested in the politics of conservation and environmental governance – in how access to natural resources is defined and contested by resource users, experts, civil society and the state. More specifically, she considers how science is incorporated into environmental policy, the politics of scale in marine conservation, and how resource management policies are negotiated under co-management arrangements. She has studied both ecotourism and marine protected areas as examples of conservation interventions. She draws on, and contributes to, three bodies of literature, political ecology, common property, and science and technology studies.
