I'm interested in collective and relational dynamics in frontier agricultural expansion and crop booms; the role of markets and infrastructure; farmers' decision-making and livelihood strategies; and water governance to name a few. I use a mixed-methods and multi-scale approach to tell the story from multiple perspectives.
Themes
Telecoupling of land use systems, Land governance, Land management systems, Urban-rural interactions, Land use and conflict
A new paper in Global Environmental Change uses case studies across the Mekong Region, a place which serves as a harbinger for crop booms globally, to propose a new analytical framework for understanding and governing crop booms.
