Thesis Title: Regional Development and the Embedding of Liberal Environmentalism: the carbon market and land governance
About
I have been active in the area of environment and sustainable development for the past ten years, focusing now on the intersection of climate change policy, regional development and land governance through a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto. I have particular expertise in the regulatory framework of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol. Teaching experience includes the politics of development, environmental policy and international relations, while I have field research experience in East & West Africa as well as Eastern Europe. I have also gained professional know-how through consultations on carbon offset projects and climate change policy with UNDP, CIDA, the Government of Cameroon and the private sector. In addition, I play a leadership role in Canadian environmental circles through the Canadian Environmental Network as well as through my collaboration with REAP-Canada, a top Canadian bioenergy think-tank. My long-term goal is an academic career that permits me to continue to teach, research and advocate for environmental policy—both domestic and international—that is equitable, sustainable and realistic.
