Biography
Edward is a lecturer in international development at University College Cork (Dept Food Business and Development), and the Director of the BSc. Programme in International Development and Food Policy. Between 1998 and 2006 I worked in southern Africa working with a rural NGO and later as Senior Lecturer in Land and Agrarian Studies at the University of the Western Cape. In 2009-10 I served as Doctoral Programme Officer with the Trinity International Development Initiative (TIDI) and Coordinator of the International Doctoral School in Global Health at the Centre for Global Health, Trinity College Dublin. My current research focuses on links between small-scale farming and nutrition, particularly in Ethiopia. I have published widely on land reform, rural livelihoods and natural resources in Africa.
Research Interest
AgriDiet is organised into eight work packages involving integrated research studies, stakeholder meetings and communication activities. A key feature is the recruitment of six PhD students from the academic staff in our African partner universities, three of whom are registered at UCC and three at UCD.
