Judith Bopp
Judith Bopp is a human geographer with a particular interest in organic farming practices and the interrelations among food, health, and ecology. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (RCC). In her research project, “Fostering the Health–Nutrition–Ecology Nexus: Organic Farming Practices and Household Resilience in Rural Thailand,” she investigates how rural smallholder households strengthen their resilience to overlapping socioecological crises through the adoption of organic farming practices.
With a background in linguistics, she also has a strong interest in the field of ecolinguistics. Ecolinguistic analysis is used to identify ecologically destructive discourses and to help shape “eco-positive” narratives for more sustainable ways of living (see Ecolinguistics course).
