Biography

Shona joined the School of Management as a Lecturer in Knowledge and Practice in 2012. Previously she worked as a researcher in Landcare Research Manaaki Whenua in New Zealand following completion of her doctoral research at the University of Strathclyde in 2007.

Her doctoral research examined the relationships between governance regimes and accountability relationships concerning the management and supply of freshwater in Scotland. More recently, she has undertaken interdisciplinary research concerning environmental governance concerning freshwater and climate change in New Zealand. In the course of this research, Shona is increasing interested in relationships between knowledge and practice in the context of sustainable development across multiple scales.
