My book with @UZPress is here!! It is a decade-long project #ethnography , tracing the social and political life of a major conservation intervention across scales, from #BINGO head office in DC, to field sites in #Cambodia . Blurb here: uapress.arizona.edu/book/corporate…

I had the privilege of reading an early version of this book. It’s a very detailed, wonderfully insightful and often troubling account of how conservation actually works in practice. Essential reading.

📢Call for research collaborators 📢 We're conducting a systematic map of literature to examine the different ways in which local residents contribute to protected area law enforcement. We're keen to recruit reviewers to go through literature published in multiple languages...

One of the most useful things when I was a PhD student was having Rosaleen Duffy and Dan Brockington keeping me on my toes in my use of language. I'm still surprised / disappointed at the uncritical use of language and key terms in conservation.
