Our research group addresses the most urgent and immediate threats to the resilience of human-environment systems and seeks to understand the complex interactions between societies and the landscapes they inhabit that precipitate vulnerability, including rural and urban dynamics. Thus, our scope also contributes to the growing body of research undertaken by University of Lincoln academics around Sustainability, in particular environmental justice, and the role of governance, both within the UK and abroad.

Environments
Find out more about how our team explores barriers and facilitators of sustainability and learn about our current projects including exploring if, and in what form, a new ‘civil politics’ of climate change is emerging from recent populist climate events in the UK and around the world.

DIRE Seminars
Find out more about our DIRE Seminar Series, where we aim to promote the sharing of knowledge between academics across disciplines with shared interests in some of the biggest challenges facing societies and the environments they inhabit. The series features presentations from DIRE members as well as guest speakers.
