Connor Joseph Cavanagh as supervisor

I welcome supervision requests from Master students or prospective PhD candidates on topics that intersect with one or more of the broad thematic areas below:

• Human-environment geography, human ecology, political ecology
• Political ecologies of land use change, conservation, and climate change mitigation
• Livelihood impacts of agricultural development, rural transformation, and agrarian change
• Property rights, tenure, and ownership regimes for land and natural resources
• Global environmental change impacts: adaptation, mitigation, vulnerability, and inequality
• Conservation and development, protected area-community relations, the "conservation revolution" and politics of alternative conservation models
• Formalisation, informalisation, bureaucratisation, and “corruption” in environmental governance
• Green growth, degrowth, post-growth, and various other "alternative sustainabilities"
• African and East African studies; politics of citizenship and belonging; authority, identity, and territory relations
• Interdisciplinarity and mixed-methods research in geography

To make a supervision inquiry, please send me an email (Connor.Cavanagh@uib.no) with a brief introduction to your research interests and background. If appropriate, we can then schedule an appointment or Zoom meeting to discuss further possibilities for working together.
