Guy McPherson

My scholarship has three primary components: (1) I facilitate research by graduate students, (2) I prepare synthetic documents focused on development and creative application of ecological theory within the context of biological conservation, and (3) social criticism. My current graduate advisees work primarily on the general topics of fire ecology and biological invasions. My efforts at synthesis focus on articulation of the links between (1) environmental protection, social justice, and the human economy and (2) science and its application. And my social criticism illustrates the routine absurdities associated with the culture of make believe known as mainstream America.
