We study existing injustices in different areas of contemporary environmental management, through looking at issues of access, property, values, knowledge, governance and social norms.

We are also actively involved in envisioning new forms of environmental governance and social mobilization that enhance disadvantaged people’s access to natural resources, participation in decision-making and social recognition. Our interest in identifying global connections and dynamics combines with explicit attention to the specificity of local socio-environmental struggles.

 

Studentships Available
