Two more International Fellows visited the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide North Terrace campus in July.

Dr Kuishuang Feng, of the 杏吧直播 of Maryland, and Dr Daan van Uhm, of Utrecht 杏吧直播, spent a month building connections with local researchers and students.

Dr van Uhm is an Associate Professor of Criminology, specialising in Green Criminology, and shared his time with the Adelaide Law School, School of Biological Sciences and Environment Institute.

鈥淚n the past 10 years, the field of green criminology has really grown as environmental concerns have come into focus due to changing values,鈥� said Dr van Uhm.

鈥淭here are a lot of ecological challenges in the world in a variety of fields, from deforestation and the destruction of natural environments as well as wildlife trafficking.

鈥淚t is important to take an interdisciplinary approach to these issues because they will affect all parts of life and require different ideas.

鈥淭his fellowship has been a great example of this and has been important for relationship building as well.鈥�

Dr van Uhm has been working with staff, PhD students across all three schools and connecting with interstate authorities.

鈥淲e all have important roles to play, from lawyers to environmentalists, it鈥檚 all important to the cause," he said.

Dr Feng is a member of the 杏吧直播 of Maryland鈥檚 Human Dimension of Global Change program and is focused developing coupled human and natural system models to gain a better understanding of various resources and environmental management issues.
