Biography
Chad Boda is a post-doctoral research fellow and teacher at LUCSUS, as well as an affiliate of the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies. He holds a Ph.D in Sustainability Science from Lund University, as well as a master's in environmental studies from Lund University, and a bachelor's in geography and urban and regional planning from Florida State University.
Research
My research focuses on a variety of issues under the broad topic of Sustainable Development. As a sustainability scientist, I work interdisciplinarily and combine conservation sciences, political economy and social movement studies to understand and identify solutions to sustainable development problems in the Global North and South. I am currently working on a four year 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 am also working on a year long seed-grant aimed at building research capacity on farmer organization, mobilization and political opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, I am currently coordinating an advanced study group at the Lund University Pufendorf Institute of Advanced Studies named Civil Society and Sustainability Studies (CIVICSUS) which is exploring the question "How can scientific knowledge of sustainability contribute to social movements for sustainability?".
Teaching
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:
- MESS31- Earth System Science
- MESS32- Social Theory and Sustainability
- MESS33- Sustainability Science
