Dr. Gay-Antaki's work focuses on human-environment relations in the era of anthropogenic global climate change. She draws from the frameworks of political ecology and feminist geography to trace climate change policy development as a series of networked connections ranging from formal political spaces, such as the UN Conference of the Parties, to scientific spaces such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to the towns and communities where climate policies are implemented. Her work also investigates the participation, and sometimes the exclusion, of women scientists and stakeholders in international climate change research and policy arenas.

Research:
Dr. Gay-Antaki's work focuses on human-environment relations in the era of anthropogenic global climate change. She draw from political ecology and decolonial feminist geography to amplify voices that are not regularly part of the debate on climate change - from formal political spaces, such as the UN Conference of the Parties, to scientific spaces such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - to make research on the topic more effective for vulnerable and underrepresented communities.
