Author Information

George Barrett works in the field of international relations, security and environmental politics. Her doctorate argues for the reinvigoration of Critical Security Studies in Southern Africa, giving centrality to human-environment relations in rethinking security and emancipation in the region. Her research views these issues through the optic of peace parks. Shirley Brooks is a human geographer and environmental historian. Her research explores social histories of nature conservation and land issues in South Africa. She has written on the history of the Zululand game reserves as well as private wildlife production and related geographies of tourism and hunting in KwaZulu-Natal. Jenny Josefsson’s research explores the relationships between people, land and wildlife on private game farms in KwaZulu-Natal. She has a special interest in the dynamics of ethnographic fieldwork and knowledge-generation. Nqobile Zulu’s research interests span across the spectrum of Agrarian reform, development and the interface it brings to rural communities. His current work focuses on the transition to private game farming and the contestations developing in the Groot Marico district of the North West province in South Africa.
