Currently, I am working on five different collaborative and interdisciplinary projects.
The first is a long-term study of how mobile pastoralists sustainably use common-pool grazing resources in a situation of open access.
The second examines whether and how coupled demographic dynamics of herds and households keep livestock populations at the regional level in check in pastoral systems.
The third examines the critical transition from pastoralism to ranching in Central Africa integrating practice theory and complexity theory.
The fourth examines the political ecology of pastoralists and parks in Central Africa and in particular how insecurity in the region affects both.
The fifth project examines the long-term dynamic feedback between territoriality and rangeland ecology among prehistoric pastoralists in Southern Arabia.
