Biography
- By Franz Krause - Posted on February 5th, 2009
Franz holds a MSc in Environment and Development from the Institute for Development Policy and Management, University of Manchester, UK, and a MA in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Free University of Berlin, Germany. He is currently a doctoral candidate at the Department of Anthropology, University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Franz' approach to Environmental Management has been influenced by water-related issues of international development, and he has conducted empirical research on desertification in Mali, and on communal irrigation systems in the Philippines. In his current project, focussing on the Kemi River in Northern Finland, he investigates human images and utilisations of the river, looks at resulting conflicts, and probes into the understandings of environmental phenomena that are shaped by experiences with the river.
