Dr Catherine Allan is Professor of Environmental Sociology and Planning at Charles Sturt University, Australia. Catherine has a strong connection with rural landscapes, and understands people as part of, not separate from, those landscapes. Her research interests include adaptive management of vegetation, soil and water, and the related topics of social learning and participatory inquiry. Catherine’s expertise in qualitative research approaches, including collaborative research which empowers communities, has contributed to multi and transdisciplinary projects and programs. For example, Catherine has been involved with groundwater and salinity projects in the Murray-Darling Basin, Pakistan and Italy, and from 2017 has been Leader of the social/ economic Program of Australia’s Cooperative Research Centre for High Performance Soils.
