Each PhD candidate will conduct a detailed ethnographic study in both the Netherlands and Spain. The PhDs will be based in the Netherlands and will conduct fieldwork in both countries to fully compare and contrast the sites and findings. The focus areas will be:
PhD1: Multispecies Relations – studying the interactions between growers, pickers, researchers, plants, and non-human laborers, such as pollinator bees.
PhD2: Greenhouse Digitalization – investigating how growers, researchers, and workers are adapting to or resisting ‘climate-intelligent agriculture,’ a recent iteration of sustainability.
