Noel Castree, University of Manchester, UK. antipode@manchester.ac.uk
http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/geography/staff/castree_noel.htm
Noel's core interests are two-fold and connected by a commitment to Marxist political economy. First, he wishes to understand the causes and consequences of environmental change in a more-than-capitalist world. Second, he also seeks to fathom the complex and compound geographies of employment and labour struggle. He has made some modest contributions to debates in both areas over the last decade. Noel is also concerned to understand the political economy of academia in the 21st century, not least because this political economy defines the parameters of his own efforts to teach, write and do other things besides.
