Dr. Gavin Bridge

Durham University, UK

Gavin Bridge is Professor of Economic Geography at Durham University and a Fellow of the Durham Energy Institute. His research addresses questions of property, access, and control associated with emergent geographies of resource production and consumption, including the political ecologies of resource scarcity and security. Recent work includes research on raw material production networks associated with old and new carbon economies; and a continuing interest in how the materiality of resources shapes their appropriation and capitalisation. He is the author of Oil (Polity, 2017) with P. Le Billon; co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Political Ecology (2015) with T. Perreault and J. McCarthy; and co-author of Energy and Society: A Critical Perspective (Routledge, 2018) with S. Barr, S. Bouzarovski, M. Bradshaw, E. Brown, H. Bulkeley, and G. Walker.
