About this position
Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Canterbury in Aotearoa New Zealand on Indigenous-led coastal resilience, with a focus on the legal, policy and planning frameworks that support or undermine resilience across estuaries, wetlands, lakes, rivers, lagoons, and the ocean.
The project is part of an interdisciplinary team and is described as a locally-grown PhD designed to deliver impact for local Indigenous peoples and broader communities. The research theme connects law, environmental science, geography, political science, and urban planning, with additional relevance to climate change adaptation, disaster resilience, community engagement, and geospatial analysis.
Supervision is mentioned with Elizabeth Macpherson, Matthew Hughes, and Matiu Prebble. The post highlights learning from local Indigenous experts and examining how state law and policy may be getting in the way of Indigenous knowledge, law, and leadership driving positive change.
