Dr Nigel Clark

Nigel Clark is a senior lecturer in human geography at The Open University. He hails from New Zealand and taught Sociology at the University of Auckland before joining The Open University. His work revolves around the idea that water, earth, fire, life and other physical forces impact in an important way on human life, just as human life impacts on its environment. He has also written on islands and climate change, both as a social scientist and as an art curator, and has helped organise an international symposium entitled Giving Space, Taking Time: A Workshop on Hospitality and Generosity. Nigel is currently involved in the Interdependence Day project.
