Brendan Coolsaet

Lying at the intersection between environmental humanities (specifically environmental justice and political ecology), biodiversity governance and the “critical food studies”, his research focuses on inequality and justice issues raised, among others, by environmental transition and transformation processes related to biodiversity conservation, to food and agriculture, and to territorial development. He wrote Environmental Justice: Key Issues (Routledge 2020), the first collective manual to provide a complete and accessible overview of environmental justice studies. He currently leads the “Towards ‘just conservation’: linking theories and practices of justice in biodiversity conservation” project, which is financed by the Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB/CESAB).
