Catherine Shanon Benson
Catherine Benson is a PhD Pre-Candidate in the School of Natural Resources and Environment. Her dissertation research explores the role of non-state actors in marine environmental governance in Madagascar and Papua New Guinea. Catherine seeks to better understand how different governance arrangements result in different environmental outcomes. Her research draws on both natural and social science and includes institutional ethnography on different actors, including corporations and NGOs. Catherine has previously conducted research on the creation of marine protected areas in Papua New Guinea, the role of natural resource decentralization in biodiversity and poverty outcomes near protected areas in Uganda, and the implications of human-wildlife conflicts for Kenya?s protected areas. Catherine's previous professional experience includes working with the Papua New Guinea Mission to the United Nations, as a Research Associate at the Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment in Uganda, and with the Africa program at the World Resources Institute. Catherine has a Master?s in Environmental Science from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and a BA from Colby College in Biology and Environmental Policy.
