Presented by Associate Professor Matt McDonald (The University of Queensland)
Matt McDonald is Associate Professor of International Relations at the University of Queensland, having previously worked at the University of Warwick and Birmingham in the UK and the University of New South Wales in Australia. His research interests are in the area of critical theoretical approaches to security and their application to a range of issues, especially climate change. He has published widely on these themes and is the author of Security, the Environment and Emancipation (Routledge 2012), co-author of Ethics and Global Security (Routledge 2014) and most recently the author of Ecological Security: Climate Change and the Construction of Security (Cambridge 2021). He is currently completing an ARC-funded project examining comparative national approaches to the security implications of climate change. And he thinks climate change is bad. Like, really bad.
