Researcher
Chad S. Boda is an interdisciplinary geographer with a focus in research and teaching on issues of environmental conservation and sustainable development. His current project work is a collaboration between Sweden, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Ghana studying the emergence, development and outcomes of farmer-based rural social movements for sustainable agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. His teaching portfolio is broad and interdisciplinary. He is also the coordinator for the Lund University branch of the Right Livelihood College network.
My research focuses on a variety of issues under the broad topics of sustainable development, environmental studies and collective action, and as such is interdisciplinary, often combining conservation sciences, political economy and social movement studies. I am also keenly interested in action-oriented methodology in sustainability science, and often collaborate with societal (e.g. government, civil society) actors through my research. I am currently working on a four year collaborative research project aimed at building research capacity on rural social movements emerging from farmer organization, mobilization and political opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa, with collaborating research and civil society partners in Zimbabwe, Uganda and Ghana. I recently worked as post-doctoral fellow for a project investigating concepts, metrics and policies related to the disproportionate impacts of climate change extreme events (DICE), involving collaboration with research institutes in the USA and Bangladesh. I have long worked with the politics and science of coastal management and restoration, particularly in the US state of Florida. Finally, I am currently the coordinator for the Lund University branch of the Right Livelihood College network.
Beyond my research I also teach for a variety of courses for the Lund University International Master’s Program in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science (LUMES), including:
