I am an interdisciplinary conservation scientist with broad interests in how social and ecological systems interact.

I am particularly interested in the relationships between communities, their local environment and conservation actors and how we can align often competing interests between these stakeholders. Having completed a PhD investigating the conservation conflicts surrounding large carnivores in the Ruaha landscape (Tanzania) I am now working as a postdoc with Dr. Freya St John trying to improve our understanding of the drivers of illegal behaviour in national parks.

Qualifications

  • DPhil: Improving our understanding of the socio-ecological complexity of human-carnivore interactions
    Oxford University, 2014–2018
  • MSc: Conservation Science
    Imperial College London, 2012–2013
  • BSc: Environmental Science
    University of East Anglia, 2007–2010

Research Interests

Resolving the links between poverty and rule-breaking in a conservation context.

I am working on Dr. Freya St. John's ERC grant that aims to examine the drivers of rule-breaking behaviour in national parks. Using a range of cutting techniques from multiple disciplines the project will investigate how multi-faceted poverty and socio-psychological factors influence rule-breaking behaviour.
