Dr. Jesse Ribot is a human geographer of environmental justice and rural well-being. He studies the social and political-economic causes of the precarity and suffering of natural-resource-dependent communities. He conducts his research in four inter-linked arenas: decentralization and democratic local government; natural resource tenure and access; distribution along natural resource commodity chains; and household vulnerability in the face of climate change. Jesse uses a political-economy approach drawing on disciplines of sociology, anthropology, political science, political philosophy and geography, and has developed in-situ research-based education programs, called Higher Education through Comparative Research, to train over 80 young scholars in their own countries to conduct in-depth policy research and to translate that research into scholarly writing and policy relevant briefs and seminars.
