Language: English

Professor Dr. Andrea Joslyn Nightingale
University of Oslo

Professor Nightingale's academic interests span political ecology, socionatures, critical development studies, feminist theory, and methodological work on mixing methods across the social and natural sciences. She feels passionately about theorizing new understandings of the society-environment nexus to account for power and politics within dynamic and unpredictable environmental change. She uses in-depth, fieldwork-based studies combined with interdisciplinary theorizing to work with ontological and methodological pluralism.

She focuses these passions around three main themes:

(1) Climate change adaptation and transformation in the context of development

(2) Public authority, state formation and collective action

(3) Emotion and subjectivity within environmental governance and commoning.

She has been invited by RC 09 to speak about her research that is linked to the thematic topic of the Rabat ISA Forum.
