Frontier Making in the Amazon: Economic, Political and Socioecological Conversion (Key Challenges in Geography)

Dr. Antonio Augosto Rossotto Ioris is reader in Human Geography at Cardiff University’s School of Geography and Planning.

His academic interests are primarily in the political dimension of the interconnections and inter-dependencies between society and the rest of nature. Most of his current research is related to social and environmental justice, the multiple obstacles faced by marginalised groups, and creative responses at different geographical scales. His work is intended to have both academic and more-than-academic relevance and is focused on socio-natural processes, on the political economy of development and environmental regulation, and on governance and politics.
