Research areas
Rod's work addresses questions about sustainability transitions, especially, how can we organise and live less unsustainably? His research uses sustainability political economy to explore community-owned organisations, collaborative natural resource management, enterprises pursuing post-(economic) growth principles, and cultural organisations. Although Rod's own work is qualitative, he is committed to interdisciplinary and collaborative knowledge production.
