Bradshaw, Ben
I am a community-engaged scholar with a research program broadly focussed on environmental governance, with special emphasis these days on: mining and Indigenous communities in Canada; environmental stewardship in conventional agricultural systems; and Canada’s emergent sustainable seafood governance network. Past research has focussed on corporate social/environmental responsibility, agricultural trade liberalization, community-based resource management, agricultural biotechnology adoption, and climate change adaptation in agriculture. I welcome communications with other researchers, professionals, and potential graduate students with overlapping interests.
- Mining and Indigenous community well-being: measuring what matters;
- Assessing the origins and utility of Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs);
- Co-developing solutions to pollinator decline in agricultural landscapes; and
- Identifying the maturity of Canada’s emergent sustainable seafood governance system
- Originator and Project Manager, IBA Research Network (www.impactandbenefit.com);
- Board Member, Ontario Association for Impact Assessment (2014-_);
- Treasurer (2004- ) and Chair (2001-04), Environment and Resources Study Group, Canadian Association of Geographers

Environmental Governance
I am always looking for outstanding graduate students with interests and expertise in environmental governance most generally. More narrowly, I can support MA and PhD students focused on any of: novel governance in Canada's mining sector; Indigenous communities, energy transitions, and carbon management; and agri-environmental stewardship, including carbon management, in highly productive landscapes.
