Mr Matthew Varco

Overview

I am working on an ESRC-funded PhD project within Human Geography, supervised by Dr Henrik Ernstson, Dr Aurora Fredriksen, and Prof Erik Swyngedouw. My work attempts to uncover how nature becomes the foundation for a variety of far-right and extremist political movements. Using archival, discursive, and ethnographic methods, I hope to improve our understanding of the political uses and abuses of nature in the Anthropocene.

I am a member of the Society and Environment Research Group (SERG).
