Senior Lecturer
<p>My research and scholarship explores the dyanmic relationships between a society and its environment. I use theories of social learning and systems ideas to design social learning systems for transforming. Much of my work is action research, involving policy-makers, stakeholders and practitioners in many different governance contexts and scales from catchments to national and international policy and practice. A central theme is the managing and governance of water. </p><div> </div><p>Current and recent projects include:</p><ul><li>2019-2021 Agricultural and Knowledge Innovation Systems (<a href="https://www.agrilink2020.eu/">AgriLink</a>) (EU Horizon 2020)</li><li>2013-2016 Drought Impacts: vulnerability thresholds in monitoring and early-warning research (<a href="http://www.drought.uni-freiburg.de/">DRiVER</a>) (Belmont Forum/NERC)</li><li>2012-2015 Climate Change Adaptation and Water Governance: Reconciling food security, renewable energy and the provision of multiple ecosystem services (<a href="http://www.cadwago.net/">CADWAGO</a>Riksbankens and Volkswagen foundation)</li><li>2011-2012 Evaluating the Water Framework Directive Pilots (DEFRA)</li><li>2011-2012 Approaches to Secure Sustained Behaviour Changes to Deliver Multiple Environmental Benefits Though Sustained Agricultural Land Management (DEFRA)</li></ul><div>I am interested in supervising PhDs in the following areas:</div><ul><li>social learning</li><li>systems thinking and practice</li><li>environmental and water resource managing</li><li>natural resource managing and governance.</li></ul>
