Presentation

Som miljöantropolog och etno-ekolog, utvecklar min forskning teorier och metoder för att identifiera och förstärka detaljerade kompatibiteter mellan miljömässig hälsa och den kulturella överlevnaden för ursprungsfolk och lokala samhällen. Ny inom migrationsstudier undersöker min nuvarande forskning hur upplevda förändringar i miljömässig hälsa påverkar migrationsidéer över tid. Denna undersökning sker på global nivå, samtidigt som den kopplar till den empiriska kontexten av olivskötsel-personer, hushåll och familjer i deras älskade landskap i det kulturellt mångfacetterade Sydvästra Marocko och Sydöstra Turkiet.
