Current research interests include:

  • forest governance
  • community forests and decentralization
  • value-added strategies
  • forest certification and corporate social responsibility
  • forest sector sustainability and competitiveness
  • marketing, management and consumer behaviour

NOTE:  I am currently not accepting new graduate students or postdoctoral fellows.
