Research Cluster: Ecologies, Resilience and Change
Ecologies, Resilience and Change
This cluster explores humans’ relationships with each other and other life forms across time and space that both serve humans and sometimes result in disruptions or catastrophic changes to ecological systems and environments.
We also examine social movements of resistance that may bring change to human environments. Global research areas include climate change, food systems, and social and political organization or upheaval.
