QUALIFICATIONS

BSc (Hons) in Geography from the University of Hull, 2005.

INTERESTS

	Agriculture and sustainable resource use, my thesis is about smallholder farming in Malawi and the use of trees on farms.
	Rapidly increasing population densities in Malawi have put a huge strain on the existing agricultural land. This has led to agricultural expansion at the expense of the country’s woodlands. Smallholder agriculture is the dominant economic activity of Malawi’s rural population, and many farmers have been forced to cultivate marginal lands with less fertile soils.
	Trees on farms provide both products and services. They yield food, firewood, building materials and medicine; and they also replenish organic matter and nutrient levels in soils. They help to control erosion and can conserve water.

INTERESTS

Suzanne Clisby is the Director of the Masters programme in Gender and Development at the University of Hull.

Her research interests fall both within the field of Gender and Development and more broadly in the areas of poverty, participation, environmental issues, land use and indigenous rights.

Within a UK context she has also been involved in six policy- oriented research projects since 2000, conducting empirical research in the areas of youth, gender, poverty, sexual health, young parenting and political participation. She is interested in the interface between discourses of ‘social policy’ in Western contexts and ‘development’ in non-Western contexts. She has recently completed a two-year team study for the Department of Health focusing on young people and sexual health in rural and coastal areas across the UK. Her teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels focuses on gender, development, poverty and international politics in both global and Latin American contexts.
