Leslie Gray is a
geographer who teaches classes that emphasize global
environment, development and population issues. Her current
research considers the environmental and equity dimensions
surrounding global cotton production, focusing on how the
agricultural subsidies given to farmers in wealthy countries
affect poor farmers in West Africa. She has published articles
on environmental policy, land degradation, and women's access to
resources in Burkina Faso and Sudan. This research has been
funded by the National Science Foundation, Fulbright/IIE and the
Social Science Research Council. She has also done work for
several international organizations, including CARE, Catholic
Relief Services, UNDP, ILO and the World Bank. |
