UNA-Canada had a very informative discussion with Simron, Associate Professor and Associate Dean of Graduate Studies (Faculty of Environment) at the University of Waterloo. His research draws on the concepts of social metabolism and environmental justice to study society-nature interactions.
Simron has played lead roles in several EU projects related to environmental justice, social conflicts, and the politics surrounding payment for ecosystem services. His research focuses mainly on local or sub-national scales, with particular interest in small islands, currently the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
