My name is Dan DaSilva and I am an independent researcher and information specialist on the specific issue of environmental migration. I am currently working in the refugee and immigrant services field in Vancouver, Canada. I hold an M.A. in International Development Studies from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. My research includes international human rights and forced migration.

Lori Barcliff Baptista is presently a Visiting Scholar at the University of Chicago’s Civic Knowledge Project (CKP). As a scholar/arts practitioner, Lori deploys a range of interdisciplinary sources and methods to research, teach and create artistic works that explore the relationships between food, im/migrations, and identities. She is especially interested in the material, aesthetic and expressive dimensions of food in urban environments and relationships between urban and agricultural communities. Her doctoral dissertation assesses some of the many ways that Portuguese and Brazilian immigrants in Newark, NJ’s Ironbound community have used food to assert their presence in a post-industrial cityscape. Lori combines digital video, photography, literature, and an array of non-fiction sources and embodied forms in live performance; she is currently devising a performance that will orient audience members through a virtual tour of Chicago’s south side food deserts. The goal of the performance is to bring together historic precedents, contemporary scholarship and practical strategies that audience members might engage to navigate the inhospitable terrain of neighborhoods with limited access to fresh and healthy foods.

I work on the history of convict transportation and settler migration from Britain and Ireland to Australia in the nineteenth century. I am particularly interested in conceptualising ships as social, medical and environmental microcosms, and voyages as spatial and environmental 'occasions' on a macro scale. In my current work I am exploring how surgeons, convicts and emigrants adapted their ideas about disease as they sailed through different maritime environments en route to Australia. I also have research interests in mining, migration and health, and prison environments (e.g. solitary confinement). Thinking about environmental perception and phenomenology also brought me to the history of migraine, but that is a different story

35. Teresa Vázquez-Castillo
Urban Studies and Planning Dpt.

I am interested in analyzing the process of land privatization and the effect of land policies on ejidos (form of communal land) communities in Mexico, as ejido land has increasingly provided the physical space to build megaprojects; such was the case of the proposed new airport in Mexico City, which generated the mobilization of local communities that halted the project. Another venue of my research is related to comparative planning between Mexico and the United States and transnational social movements. Domestically, my research has dealt with urban policy and politics, youth and planning, and immigrant and Latino communities in cities and suburbs. Currently, I am conducting research on the effects of urban form, community development, economic policy, infrastructure, and dysfunctional governance on the border city of Ciudad. My latest funded research work involves comparative planning theory, history, and the diffusion of the planning idea in Mexico and in the United States. Finally, I am also working on anti-immigrant measures in different towns and cities in the United States. My photographic work on Ciudad Juárez and the Los Angeles immigrant marches has been displayed in several venues.

Riccardo Ciavolella is currently a Post-doctoral fellow in Anthropology at the French CNRS on marginality in the Sahel. He is working with the French project ANR ECLIS and the largest international research project on the impact of global climate change in Africa (the African Monsoon Interdisciplinary Analysis, AMMA). In this frame, he has carried out fieldwork in Mali and Benin in collaboration with the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD). Such research expands his analysis of the link between environmental crisis, food insecurity, and migration, and of the relationship between vulnerability and political accountability, prolonging his previous researches carried out since the PhD. Ciavolella's interests focus on the relationship between the state and its margins, and on ecological, social, and economic vulnerability in rural areas (exposure to environmental hazards and food insecurity). In papers, seminars, publications, he has studied mobility as a coping strategy against vulnerability among populations of nomadic origin.

I'm a mexican anthropologist who make research on international migration Mexico-USA. I live in Michoacan, Mexico, a West-Central mexican state, from which historically move people to US (more than a century ago). I've been studying many different issues (remittances, social networks, the so called culture of migration, etc.) about international migration, but two years ago I began a short project on the relation between migration and environment but in a non ortodox perspective. I've been studying the impact of international migration in local environment (natural, built, productive), which is transformed through the investment of remittances in house construction, roads and many items.

I am a political ecologist. My research is primarily ethnographic and historical. My students and I study the social processes that affect the management of land-based resources. My work explores various dimensions of resource access, use, and control, while comparing and contrasting local, national, and international influences on management structures and processes. I ground my analysis of contemporary resource management policy and practice in local and regional histories. I am particularly interested in how social difference – ethnic identity, class, gender – affects resource access and control.

Giorgos Kallis is an environmental scientist working on ecological economics, political ecology and water policy. His research forms part of the inter-disciplinary field of environmental studies, that is, the study of the social and bio-physical causes of environmental degradation. He is an expert in water resources and policy, including droughts, urban water conservation and participatory governance. He is motivated by a quest to cross conceptual divides between the social and the natural domains as in his collaboration with R.Norgaard at the University of California at Berkeley, where they developed the concept of socio-ecological coevolution. He is interested in the political-economic roots of environmental degradation and its uneven distribution along lines of power, income, class or race. His current work explores the idea of sustainable de-growth: a smooth economic downscaling to a sustainable future where we can live better with less.

Christos’ work is within the knowledge area of environmental social science, specialising on the study of environmental governance mainly within the fields of ecological economics and political ecology. His research focuses on the relevance of participation and deliberative democracy for sustainability decision-making and the application of political ecology for studying power and the politics of environmental decision-making. He is currently the Research Co-ordinator of a three-year FP7 EU-funded research project on Climate Change, Hydro-conflicts, and Human Security (CLICO). The project explores the social dimensions of CC, by looking under what conditions hydro-climatic hazards intensify social tensions and conflicts in the Mediterranean and the Sahel or provide a catalyst for cooperation. Apart from research co-ordination, Christos leads a case study on climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the Ebro delta in southern Catalonia (Spain). His past research has examined climate change mitigation (wind energy) conflicts, ecotourism, and the use of discourse analysis (Q methodology) for exploring environmental values. He is the main editor of a recent book on Deliberative ecological economics (Oxford University Press).

Her research focuses on the history of travel writing and the connection between geographical and social mobility on the one hand and, on the other, the theories and practices of translation. Her interest in translation and mobility is also reflected in the special issue of The Translator devoted to ‘Translation, Travel, Migration’ (Autumn 2006), which she guest-edited. She is currently working on a monograph devoted to representations of Africa produced by Italian travellers during the colonial and post-colonial period. A series of articles on this topic have already appeared in journals such as Modern Italy, Italian Studies, Anglistica, Romance Studies. She is co-editor, with Jennifer Burns, of Borderlines: Migrazioni e identità nel Novecento (Isernia: Cosmo Iannone Editore, 2003) and, with Charlotte Ross, of In Corpore: Bodies in Post-Unification Italy (Madison: Fairleigh Dickinson, 2007).
Synergies between Loredana Polezzi’s research on the literature of Italian colonial and economic emigration and Burns’ research on immigration literature have led to the creation of a module on these subjects in the Birmingham-Warwick MA in Italian Studies.
