 My work contributes to the field of political ecology and is currently supported by SSHRC funding. I teach undergraduate courses in nature-society geography and mapping as well as graduate courses in research methods and in Guelph's Master of Conservation Leadership program. I serve on the coordinating committee of the [Environmental Data and Governance Initiative](https://www.envirodatagov.org) (EDGI), where we [bring people together to analyze publicly available socio-environmental data](https://www.environmentalenforcementwatch.org/) and track the portrayal of climate change issues on the web. 
 
 ## Recruitment
-I am recruiting a Master of Arts student with interests in agri-environmental stewardship, geospatial technology, and the interactions between science and policy, to start in Fall 2023. The MA student will be funded with a graduate research assistantship to complete a social science project on best practices for agri-environmental data management and use. They will conduct focus groups with and survey stakeholders including farmers, farmer organizations, conservation authorities, conservation NGOs, and governments (municipal, provincial, First Nations, etc.) Their thesis research will support colleagues who are developing a WebGIS platform to enable stakeholders to identify agri-environmental hot spots at a field scale in the Lake Erie Basin and prioritize investments in conservation actions (see [Liu et al. 2018](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325743168_Development_of_an_Integrated_Modelling_System_for_Evaluating_Water_Quantity_and_Quality_Effects_of_Individual_Wetlands_in_an_Agricultural_Watershed)). A key component of the research involves knowledge mobilization alongside collaborators - an opportunity for the student to enhance their project management and public communication skills. The project is supported by the Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph via the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
+I’m excited to hear from prospective grad students who are curious about the role data technologies play in environmental governance. Types of projects we might collaborate on include:
+* Evaluating opportunities for technologies such as AI and GIS in nature conservation and agri-environmental stewardship
+* Analyzing publicly-available climate, conservation, and environmental governance datasets
 
-The Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at Guelph and I aim to foster welcoming and collaborative spaces that value diversity and wellness. I encourage applications from all qualified individuals, including from justice-seeking groups and those underrepresented in higher education. Prospective applicants should contact me via email - enost[at]uoguelph[dot]ca - and forward an unofficial transcript, resume or CV, and a brief statement outlining their interests as they relate to the project. 
+I am also looking for students to research the design of environmental governance datasets like Canada's National Pollutant Release Inventory and to experiment in alternative uses of them. This research would inform ongoing policy discussions, including those around Canada's [Bill C-226](https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-226) and the US's [Justice40](https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2021/07/20/the-path-to-achieving-justice40/) initiative, both of which seek to develop data infrastructures for advancing environmental justice. Students would have the opportunity to collaborate with the [Environmental and Data Governance Initiative](https://envirodatagov.org/).
 
-More about the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at Guelph:
+Prospective students should be interested in conducting interviews, document analysis, and/or surveys for their research, as well as working critically with data technologies themselves. I can offer training in communication skills - including mapping, data visualization, and public writing - and in the scholarly fields of political ecology, science and technology studies, and digital geographies. Former graduate students have gone on to work in academia and in the conservation and environmental NGO sectors.

+I encourage interested candidates to email me with a brief statement of interest, an unofficial transcript, and a writing/research sample.

 Environmental governance actors - states, corporations, conservation groups, farmers, and so on - struggle to get the information they want. There's more and more data out there every day, but it's often siloed. Even when it's available, it's not necessarily relevant and there typically isn't the time or money to make sense of it. Governing nature, it turns out, means governing data. Who collects environmental data and manages environmental databases, and who pays for it all? These questions tend to crystallize in data infrastructures.

 ### Digital practice and praxis
 Decision-makers increasingly aim for what they call "data-driven" governance. But data doesn't "drive" as much as it affords. It has to be learned from, through institutions that allow decision-makers to access expertise and communicate their expectations. Who are the users of digital technologies? What can they learn and do with their tools? How can data serve public ends, in and beyond the classroom?
