Miriam (she/her) is a researcher, writer, and photographer currently living in Amsterdam. Her research centers around the intersections of maritime worlds, critical logistics, and urban political ecology. 

She co-runs the Abandoned Seafarer Map, a counter-mapping project tracking the systemic abandonment of seafarers by shipowners and the shipping industry.

Together with Jacob Bolton she is part of Liquid Time, a research collaboration investigating logistics as a project of planetary time management. This collaboration grew out of work started during the FieldARTS Transitional Waters residency in Amsterdam in 2022. 

She holds a BSc in Political Science and Philosophy from University College London and a RMSc in Urban Studies from the University of Amsterdam. In September 2023 she will join the DIGIPORTS team at Erasmus University Rotterdam as a PhD researcher.
