The Global Significance of African Cannabis
May 21st – Dr. Chris Duvall joined UNM’s Department of Geography and Environmental Studies in 2008. As a biogeographer, his research has focused on people-plant interactions from multiple perspectives, ranging from ecological biogeography to cultural studies. He has studied plants and people in Mali, historical western Africa, and current U.S. cities. He is interested in how social constructions of human difference affect access to and use of environmental resources, human-environment interactions involved in illicit drug commerce, and the environmental meanings of foods.
