About the group
Main content
The Political Ecology Research Group (PERG) explores the relationships between resource management and social inequality in local and global contexts. PERG consists of professors, PhD-candidates, and research assistants from the Department of Social Anthropology and the Department of Geography at the University of Bergen (UiB), and the Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI). We organize meetings every three weeks with discussions of literature, drafts and proposals to mention some. Thematic keywords include: contested natural resources, energy extraction, climate change, conservation, land rights, corporate ethics, sustainability and infrastructure.
