Your job

Are you passionate to research the society and nature relationships in the context of peri-urban land and water commons in the Global North and South? If you want to advance governance scholarship to explain the nuances of the changing peri-urban landscape due to climate change and urbanization, then we are looking for you! 

We have an exciting PhD position shared by the two chair groups: Sociology of Development & Change and Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning. The PhD will be part of the research project ‘Peri-urban commons and resource conflicts in the urbanising world’ (Peri-commons). The project seeks to explain the mechanisms underlying processes of decommoning and recommoning in several countries: what can peri-urban commons contribute to the socio-ecological system of urban and rural stakeholders, how do conflicts arise, and how are they governed - through collective action and planned interventions?
