In April 2007, CSAFE warmly welcomed Dr. Arun Agrawal for three days of dialog on the status and meanings of New Zealand’s recent environmental reforms, including a hui, workshop series, and public lecture.

A political scientist based at the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources and Environment, Arun is a leading expert in the fields of development and environmental governance with a particular interest in the issue of practices and subjectivities. During his visit, Arun shared some sharp and important insights about the state of social science research in regards to environmental governance.
