Timothy Adams is a researcher and educator in the interdisciplinary field of human geography and gender studies. His research focuses on the interconnections between the evolution of the global resource economy and local institutional, socioeconomic, gender, and environmental impacts. He specializes in collective action strategies for resource governance and sustainable environmental justice, particularly market-based approaches for sustainable resource management and property rights. His PhD thesis explored large-scale land investments and their implications for gender relations in Africa, for which he received the Barbara Lischetti Prize in 2020. Currently, Adams is investigating the role of investment-driven Formalized Arrangements for Collective Tenure in promoting tenure security and gender equality in sustainable land use practices, agriculture, and conservation in Sub-Saharan Africa. He employs a multi-disciplinary research approach that encompasses critical resource theories, economics, feminist political ecology, and public policy analysis, all from a field-based comparative perspective.
