Scott Prudham is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Toronto. His research interests lie primarily in the intersections of political ecology and political economy, particularly in the context of environmental change and extraction. He focuses on the commodification of nature and its political ecological consequences, exploring how discrete elements of the biophysical world—including human and non-human life—are produced, regulated, and understood within the marketplace. He is currently involved in a collaborative project that investigates the shift from generic, industrial wine production to quality wine production in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, emphasizing sustainable agronomic practices and innovative vinification modes. Prudham's work often challenges traditional views of commodification as a static outcome, revealing it instead as a dynamic process shaped by contemporary socio-political contexts and everyday experiences.
