Short-bio of the speaker:

Arnim Scheidel was born in Graz, Austria and currently works as a research fellow at the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague (Netherlands) and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Ecology and Biodiversity from the Karl-Franzens University of Graz (Austria), a Master’s degree in Human and Social Ecology from the Alpen-Adria University of Klagenfurt (Austria), and a PhD in Ecological Economics and Environmental Sciences from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. During his education and professional work as a young scholar, he has actively collaborated with several research centers across Europe and Asia, such as for instance the Institute for Environmental studies in Brno (Czech republic), the Vienna Institute of Social Ecology (Austria), the Intergovernmental Mekong Institute (Thailand), the Center for the Study of Agriculture in Cambodia (CEDAC), the Tokushima University in Japan, and others. His main research interests lie in the study of current dynamics of rural environmental change and trends in rural development. He is keen to understand how changes in societal resource uses may transform the countryside, as well as how actors in the countryside adapt to resource use changes and how they actively transform them to make them more sustainable for their livelihoods as well as for the environment. In this context, Arnim has researched, for example the impacts of rural development policies in Europe and Southeast related to agricultural practices, and how they can be improved to enhance benefits for small-farmers; the role of community-based initiatives for rural development, such as for instance community-based saving groups, paddy rice banks, or agroecological rice farming technics such SRI. Theoretically, his work is grounded in the interdisciplinary field of Ecological Economics. His research has been published in top-tier journals, such as for example Global Environmental Change, Journal of Peasant Studies, Ecological Economics, Land Use Policy, Geoforum, Sustainability Science, and others.
