SOGeS and the Environmental Justice Working Group present this Java & Justice event.
Dr. Douglas Jackson-Smith is a Professor and Assistant Director of the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University, and his research focuses on a range of topics related to agriculture, water and the dynamics of working landscapes. He will give a short presentation on participatory research followed by a Q&A session. Coffee & snacks will be provided!
Dr. Jackson-Smith works on interdisciplinary teams to highlight human dimensions of complex social, economic, and environmental problems. Throughout his career, his work has explored the drivers and consequences of technological and economic change in rural landscapes and the agrifood system, with particular attention to the coupled human-natural system dynamics of urban and rural water systems. He is an unapologetic defender of the use of rigorous empirical research to shed light on the causes, consequences, and solutions to important social and environmental problems. He received a BS in Rural Sociology from Cornell University, an MA in Agricultural Economics, and an MS and PhD in Sociology, all from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
