Developing policies and management actions for social-ecological systems that are responsive to global change drivers requires careful attention to the different ways that individuals and groups interact with and value non-human nature, the various governance approaches that underpin dominant and emerging solutions, and the knowledge(s) that inform preferred (and contested) decision pathways. Our research embraces this complexity and seeks to connect its implications to decision-making. Currently our work focusses on the follow research themes: • Conservation Adaptation and Transformation • Knowledge Governance at the Science-Policy Interface • Eco-cultural Restoration and Stewardship • Biotechnology and Forest Resources Management https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eac67f63c39e029923db3c2/1588357125679/9B0F5265-1187-4678-BA26-0E36EEC2DF1C_1_105_c_BRIGHT.jpg Home - Approach Our research hinges on a commitment to empiricism in its diverse forms. We use both qualitative and quantitative data derived from researcher-driven and collaborative and community-driven strategies of inquiry. Ultimately, we aim to practice meaningful, ethically responsible research in the service of better understanding and responding to the complex environmental challenges facing society. https://www.sesresearchgroup.org/people daily 0.75 2021-09-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eaf394c7db95f3c3b352abc/1588541784021/people_grad5.jpg People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eaf38fe51a149139324a34f/1588541699813/people_postdocfellows.jpg People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eaf390dbd40350b4ef08e66/1588541715836/people_grad1.jpg People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eaf38e061b0283574836e54/1588541684192/people_shannon.jpg People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5ec56074e9cf0f65dc4f45c1/1589993602312/jake-blucker-9XIwpR9zpjE-unsplash.jpg People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eaf3a400ffca35d422489b1/1588542022267/people_visitscholar.jpg People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eaf391e61b0283574837ebb/1588541737338/people_grad3.jpg People https://www.sesresearchgroup.org/teaching-mentorship daily 0.75 2020-05-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eac5ff962577a48054d2e30/1588355539256/IMG_2595_BRIGHT.jpg Teaching & Mentorship - Our Aims. Collectively and as individuals, we seek to advance knowledge, inform environmental decision making, and spark transformative change towards a world that is better for people and nature. At the centre of everything we do is a commitment to supporting one another in our shared learning, professional development and overall wellbeing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eac60cebcb3090625426760/1588355547385/IMG_2613_BRIGHT.jpg Teaching & Mentorship - Expectations & Fit. The SES group is a good fit for you if you are interested in applying social science perspectives and methods to complex conservation and resource management challenges. Critical thinking, the capacity for independent work, excellent communication skills and a collaborative, generous spirit, are all key considerations for recruitment in our group. You can expect several things from me. I seek to create a rich environment for academic development comprised of a diverse, inclusive and supportive research community; funding; productive workspace; high levels of contact and engagement (e.g. through weekly individual meetings as well as research group meetings); and opportunities for collaboration with colleagues within and beyond UBC. If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree with me, please email me your CV, GPA or equivalent, and a brief description of your research interests and how they are aligned with the SES group. Please note the Faculty of Forestry’s application deadlines. I look forward to hearing from you! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e97c491a0a32342ec126f3f/t/5eac611f9a9a0f3b4d2989d2/1588392493868/IMG_2617_BRIGHT.jpg Teaching & Mentorship - Teaching.
