Richard Schroeder is Associate Professor
of Geography at Rutgers University. His academic specialties
are in the interlocking fields of political ecology
and development studies. His scholarship emphasizes
the social and cultural dynamics in play in specific
natural resource management domains, including dryland
agriculture (Nigeria), horticulture (The Gambia), community
forestry (The Gambia), wildlife tourism and trophy hunting
(Tanzania, Southern Africa), the extraction of non-timber
forest products (USA), and gem stone mining (Tanzania).
The latter case is part of an on-going research project,
which explores the dramatic influx of South African
capital and attendant racial and nationalist politics
in Tanzania following the end of apartheid in 1994.
He holds a PhD in Geography from the University of California-Berkeley
and an MS in Land Resources from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
