Postdoctoral Research Assistant
I am a researcher with a strong focus on research that empowers and achieves practical benefits for vulnerable/marginal people. I work on PICSA, which is a participatory extension approach, developed at the University of Reading, UK that combines historical climate data and forecasts with farmers' knowledge of what works in their own context, and then uses participatory planning methods to help them make informed decisions about their agricultural practices. I am broadly interested in exploring connections between human and environmental systems, especially the diverse ways in which people understand and engage with these connections. Specific interests include: Participatory and transdisciplinary approaches for learning, research and planning; Interaction of different knowledges and worldviews; Social-ecological resilience; Sustainable adaptation to climate variability and change; Collaborative learning and innovation.
