Canadian Geography Researcher Named Second Rachel Carson
Professor
 Lisa
M. Campbell of the University of Western Ontario
has been named the Rachel Carson Assistant Professor of Marine
Affairs and Policy and will be based at the Duke Marine Lab
in Beaufort.
Campbell’s is the second of two professorships endowed
by a $3 million gift from The Oak Foundation in March 2001.
Andrew J. Read
was named the Rachael Carson Assistant Professor of Marine
Conservation Biology in the fall of 2001. The foundation permitted
the faculty to name the professorships and did not restrict
them to a particular faculty rank.
Campbell, who joins the Nicholas School faculty after serving
as assistant professor in the Department of Geography at Western
Ontario since 1998, has broad research interests in the fields
of environment and development. Her primary focus has been
on international marine turtle conservation policy and practice,
with a particular interest in policy implementation in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
Her secondary focus has been on a collaborative research
project in Africa involving participatory development projects
as implemented by bilateral aid organizations.
Campbell received an honors bachelor’s of arts and
science degree from McMaster University in Ontario in 1990,
a master of arts degree in geography and environmental studies
from the University of Toronto in 1993, and a doctoral degree
in geography from the University of Cambridge, St. John’s
College, United Kingdom, in 1998. Her dissertation title was
“International Conservation and Local Development: The
Sustainable Use of Marine Turtles in Costa Rica.”
