Personal statement
I re-joined the Department of Human Resource Management at Strathclyde after spending several years linking participative research and education methods towards community transformation, labour organisation and environmental management. My research has linked social and physical sciences through Geography and Sociology and currently explores migration and worker resistance in relation to corporate agroenergy monoculture, and investigates socially committed,integrated food and energy production along with engineering scientists and rural workers in Brazil and Scotland.
Teaching
I have taught on the Department's undergraduate course and the Masters in International Human Resource Management over the last two years. I have also taught extensively in community education settings and on the Sustainable Communities course with Queen's University Belfast

- A collaboration between the Department of Work, Employment and Organisation and the Amazonian Institute of Family farming, Federal University of Para. In the Tapajós Basin, the traditional riverine community of Montanha and Mangabal have faced what is considered to be the most sophisticated act of land grabbing in the entire Amazon, carried out by the southern company Indussolo, which fraudulently appropriated 1,380,000 hectares3. Despite having its territory recognized as an Agroextractive Settlement the longstanding community is subject to land grabbing, illegal logging and mining.
Our research seeks to support community-based and judicial processes that defend their territorial rights towards the mutual protection of forest and livelihoods at a critical juncture in Amazonia policy - 01-Jan-2020 - 30-Jan-2021
