David Mallery is currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental Studies at York University as a student fellow in the Economics for the Anthropocene (E4A) graduate training initiative. In questioning the neoclassical economic paradigm, his research examines the epistemological predicaments associated with mainstream quantitative methodologies informing environmental and economic policy. Drawing on ecological economics, complex systems theory, and process philosophy, David’s work explores the implications of complexity and relational ontology, and how these concepts not only contribute to our growing understanding of sustainability, resilience, and human-nature relationships, but are also useful in the development of new epistemological frameworks for mixed quantitative and qualitative methodologies for resource accounting, sustainability assessment, and environmental conflict analysis.
