Event Details

When development interventions focus on poverty alleviation, they often have unintended effects on biological and cultural diversity. The presentation addresses the question: How can development processes for alleviating poverty better account for coevolving relationships between people and nature?

Dr Jamila Haider is based at Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, and is Visiting Researcher at Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University. She studies how development interventions can improve human well-being in food systems without eroding biological and cultural diversity.

Jamila will be introduced by Prof Frances Cleaver, incoming Chair of Political Ecology at Lancaster Environment Centre. Prof Cleaver is joining us from the Department of Geography at University of Sheffield, and will be presenting on her work in the autumn LEC Seminar programme (details date to be arranged).
