I joined the Department of
Politics at Humboldt State University
in the fall of 2004. I am also affiliated with the Master of Arts in
Social Science: Environment and
Community Program, and the Master of Science: Energy,
Environment, and Society Program.
Prior to arriving at HSU, I spent two years as a post doctoral fellow at
the Centre de Philosophie du Droit
at the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium. I've also spend extensive time in
Canada, Zimbabwe, and Russia.
My research and teaching interests consider the social, political and
economic context of technological development and innovation.
Empirically, I focus on issues surrounding the adoption of agricultural
biotechnology in Southern Africa. This includes both the technology
itself as well as the international, regional and local context of
adoption. My empirical research informs more theoretical questions
regarding privatization and enclosure, the nature of value, theories of
property, property rights and ownership, social conceptions of risk, the
role of the state, the nature of regulation and public policy, and the role
of social movements and local resistance. My more recent work, including a
summer Fulbright grant to Germany, has focused on differing systems of
regulation in the United States and Europe.
I’m also the author of the World Politics News Review
blog.
