Catherine Picard
Ph.D. CandidateResearch
My research is broadly focused on the promise and peril of transboundary protected areas in Sub-Saharan Africa. My dissertation fieldwork is an appraisal of the design, implementation and impact of the Selous Niassa Wildlife Corridor located on the Tanzanian-Mozambique border. My research draws on principles and methods from the policy sciences, as well as political and social ecology.
Fieldwork was undertaken in the Selous Niassa Wildlife Corridor in 2007-2008 with support from the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Program, the National Security Education Program and the MacMillan Center for International Studies at Yale University.
