Over the summer period, CCRI researchers have had numerous publication successes.
Daniel Keech and Dilshaad Bundhoo were co-authors of a paper which was published in ‘nature sustainability’. Entitled ‘Understanding rural–urban transitions in the Global South through peri-urban turbulence’, the paper conceptualizes rural–urban transition through the prism of shifts in natural, engineered and institutional infrastructure to explain the processes of rapid change and the dip in service provision often found in peri-urban areas in the Global South’. You can access the paper here.
In a change to her normal area of research, Bryonny Goodwin-Hawkins has contributed a chapter to a new book. The Oxford Handbook of Animal Organization Studies explores a range of species interactions through the lens of business management and organization. Bryonny’s chapter is entitled ‘Animal Organization Studies and the Foundational Economy: Infrastructures of Everyday Multispecies Life’.
