Daniel Buckles

Daniel Buckles worked for decades on food sovereignty, land rights and biodiversity conservation initiatives in Asia, Latin America and Africa, before settling into urban sustainability activism. He is an artist and the author of 11 books, including "Participatory Action Research: Theory and Methods for Engaged Inquiry" (with J. Chevalier, Routledge, 2019, 2nd Edition) and "Fighting Eviction" (with R. Khedkar and B. Ghevde, Cambridge University Press, 2012). His latest book, "Connecting Worlds: a memoir on art, anthropology and activism", uses an auto-biographical approach to showing the transformative potential of community engagement and participatory action research methods. He plants trees in neglected public spaces and contributes to municipal policy dialogue on the climate crisis.
