Joshua Newell is a broadly trained human-environment geographer whose research focuses on urban sustainability, resource consumption, and environmental social justice. His current research is divided into primary areas of interest, including Urban Infrastructure Form, which analyzes structural features of urban form such as the built environment and energy, water, and transport infrastructure. Another key area of his work, Urban Consumption Commodities, examines the interrelationships between the consumption of consumer products and the responsibilities of global 'green' urban citizens, investigating the role of governance mechanisms regulating product consumption. Newell employs a multi-scalar integrative research approach that combines theories and methods from geography and urban planning, inspired by principles of industrial ecology and spatial analysis. He teaches courses in Sustainability and Society as well as Urban Sustainability, aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, and leads interdisciplinary workshops for PhD students focused on urbanism, sustainability, and resilience.
