Inge's interests include gender and large-scale resource extraction, women’s activism, and volunteering. She is committed to qualitative research conducted through feminist and creative methodologies, and is interested in decolonising research. She is currently involved in two research projects exploring different aspects of these main research interests:

• 'RECLAMA: Harnessing Afro-Ecuadorian Women's Heritage'. This project works with Afro-Ecuadorian women in Esmeraldas, Ecuador, aiming to create spaces for collective, creative reflection on their identity, as a means of valuing culturally specific narratives, practices, memories, and heritage, while harnessing these for equitable development in the context of large-scale resource extraction, marginalisation and violence. Aiming to approach this project in a decolonial way, this research is conducted with colleagues in Ecuador (USFQ and Mujeres de Asfalto) and funded by British Academy/GCRF.
•  ‘Volunteering Together: Blending knowledge and skills for development’. Working to develop creative, participatory approaches and methods with VSO country offices and local researchers in Tanzania, Uganda and Nepal, we ask how different types of volunteers working together creates better development outcomes.

Inge is in the process of publishing articles based on her PhD work, concluded in 2019. Here, she critically analysed women’s interactions with, and connections to, landscape, place, and mining projects, in the aftermath of socio-environmental protest in the Peruvian Andes. This work included over seven months of fieldwork in Cajamarca, Peru, where she conducted participant observation, oral history interviews and participatory mapping exercises. Alongside her PhD, she was involved as a research assistant in three different research projects, in Peru, Chile and the UK, which allowed her to further explore her interests in notions of belonging in place, the gendered impacts of natural resource extraction, and visual research methods, notably photography.
