Christopher Sneddon

Associate Professor

Chris Sneddon joined us in 2000 as Assistant Professor with a joint appointment in Environmental Studies and Geography. Chris completed his Ph.D. dissertation (Altered rivers: socio-ecological transformation, water conflicts and the state in Northeast Thailand) at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on the political ecology of river basin development, primarily in Southeast Asia. His recent work focuses on transnational river basins (such as the Mekong and Zambezi), conflicts over water in a variety of settings, and the linkages among power, scale and institutions in the context of river basin management. Other interests include: the environment and social theory; environmental politics and policy; environmental history; and qualitative research methods.
