Bruce P. Braun
Professor, Ph.D. Program in Earth
and Environmental Sciences
Bruce P. Braun is considered one of the leading scholars
of human geography. His work seeks to develop an understanding
of the relationship between social and environmental
processes or “the politics of nature.” The
Intemperate Rainforest: Nature,
Culture and Power on Canada’s West Coast,
his book about the social struggles over the use of the
rainforests in British Columbia, received favorable reviews
in key journals of geography, political theory, history,
and environmental studies. His edited volumes (with co-editors)
have become foundational texts in environmental geography.
Braun holds a B.A. from the University of Winnipeg, and
an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia.
He comes to the Graduate Center from the University of
Minnesota.
