McSweeney, Kendra
I am a "human-environment" geographer with interests in cultural ecology, conservation and development, demography, and land use/cover change. Recent work falls in three broad areas:
- forests and livelihoods
- smallholder response to rapid environmental change
- indigenous population dynamics
All explore how people who live within extremely dynamic landscapes respond to, and shape, environmental change (discursively, economically, or indirectly through demographic behaviors), and how a better understanding of these processes can inform rural development and conservation policy. An emphasis on field-based data construction runs through all projects.
