Kort præsentation

Min forskning fokuserer på politisk økologi og politisk økonomi i forhold til naturressourcer i udviklingslande, d.v.s. relationerne mellem politik, økonomi og naturressourcers brug og bevaring. Jeg er specielt interesseret i tømmer og trækul. I forhold til tømmer har jeg forsket i benefit sharing og illegal tømmerhugst, herunder betydningen og effekten af EU's FLEGT aktionsplan (Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade) og VPAs (Voluntary Partnership Agreements). Jeg er p.t. involveret i to større forskningsprogrammer:  Access ad Exclusion along the charcoal commodity chain in Ghana (AX) og Access-Authority Nexus in Farmer-Herder Conflicts in Ghana (AAN) (website kommer snart!)

Jeg er kursusansvarlig for kurset Interdisciplinary Land Use and Natural Resource Management course  og jeg underviser også på kandidatkurset i Political Ecology. Jeg vejleder fire PhD studerende: Numan Amanzi og Srijana Baral og Lawrence Brobbey og Frank Agyei. Jeg vejleder selvfølgelig også kandidat og bachelor studerende. Jeg kan gode lide at vejlede så hvis du er interesseret i de ovenstående emner i forhold til dim BSc opgave eller MSc speciale, så kontakt mig gerne.
