Dr Rehema White is a sustainability generalist at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, and Chair of Scotland’s UNU Regional Centre of Expertise in Education for Sustainable Development. She holds a PhD from University of Adelaide, Australia, MSc from the University of Manitoba, Canada and BSc (Agric) from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. She has lived and worked in UK, South Africa, Australia, Canada and Mexico so has experienced different perspectives of and approaches to biodiversity conservation and sustainability. Her research focuses on how we co-produce and share knowledge of nature (including learning for sustainability, transdisciplinarity, nature connectedness); governance of natural resources (including regenerative communities); and practice in contested areas (including biosecurity and biodiversity conflicts). She is exploring integrative analysis and novel links across these different fields, drawing on her experiences across the natural and social sciences. Much of her recent work involves gathering together academics, practitioners and policy makers in innovative ways to co-design collaborative solutions to specific challenges.
