Main content

I welcome supervision requests from Master students or prospective PhD candidates on topics that intersect with one or more of the broad thematic areas below:

  • Human-environment geography, human ecology, political ecology
  • Political ecologies of land use change, conservation, and climate change mitigation
  • Livelihood impacts of agricultural development, rural transformation, and agrarian change
  • Property rights, tenure, and ownership regimes for land and natural resources
  • Global environmental change impacts: adaptation, mitigation, vulnerability, and inequality
  • Conservation and development, protected area-community relations, the "conservation revolution" and politics of alternative conservation models
  • Formalisation, informalisation, bureaucratisation, and “corruption” in environmental governance
  • Green growth, degrowth, post-growth, and various other "alternative sustainabilities"
  • African and East African studies; politics of citizenship and belonging; authority, identity, and territory relations
  • Interdisciplinarity and mixed-methods research in geography

To make a supervision inquiry, please send me an email (Connor.Cavanagh@uib.no) with a brief introduction to your research interests and background. If appropriate, we can then schedule an appointment or Zoom meeting to discuss further possibilities for working together.

For further details on my research activities, please see my UiB staff profile and list of publications.
