Bio

Bowness is a Canada Research Chair in Sustainability and Equity and an Assistant Professor at Western University’s Department of Geography and Environment where he teaches in the Climate Change and Society program. His research group, the Towards Equitable Sustainability Transitions (TEST) Lab, focuses on two key streams: one that critiques and challenges political and economic ‘sustainability’ proposals complicit in perpetuating the overconsumption and inequities that define modernity, and another that supports “Community-Directed Adaptation Research” (C-DAR) with communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Before joining Western, Bowness was an Assistant Professor of Community Food Systems at the Trent School of the Environment.
