Catherine Phillips is a Senior Lecturer in human geography at the University of Melbourne. Her work examines how everyday relations between people and nature take shape, become understood, and are contested in everyday life, as well as how they interact with governance efforts at various scales.
Recent research orients around: agriculture and food, discard and waste, and urban natures. Interdisciplinary in nature, her research emerges from productive confluences and tensions among social and environmental geography, science and technology studies, and feminist theory. Catherine has taught subjects in geography, environmental science and studies, development studies, and political studies. She coordinates ‘Society and Environments’ (GEOG20001) and ‘Research Methods in Geography’ (GEOG90029) and co-teaches ‘Identity’ (MULT10014)
