Good news for The University of Nottingham

With direct links to Global Food Security, Dr Adam David Morton’s application for a Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS) Highfield Fellow has been successful. 

This means that Prof. Gerardo Otero (Simon Fraser University http://blogs.sfu.ca/people/otero/) will be hosted at the University of Nottingham from January to April 2012.

Over the past two decades, Prof. Otero’s research has been at the forefront of the analysis of changes within agrarian society and the transformation of peasant production in Latin America and how this is linked to processes of economic restructuring within the context of globalisation. The interdisciplinary dimension of Prof. Otero’s international research profile directly connects with the social science aspect of the Global Food Security research at Nottingham; especially how, among other issues, the current “food crisis” is linked to questions of agrarian transformation and local production and the impact on global agro-food systems.
