Linda focuses on experimental and collaborative action-research practices through the arts. Since 2016 she has worked specifically on animal husbandry.

Her research interests focus on pastoralism in the Middle East and North Africa, in Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia) and in island economies in the Mediterranean (Sardinia). Her research explores intersecting aspects such as community-based rangeland and livestock management, land grabbing in rangelands, payment for ecosystem services and carbon offsetting, autonomous practices in pastoral production and audio-visual narrations of pastoral heritage and livelihoods. Her PhD research with the PASTRES project explored the role of “absence”, migration dynamics and collective herding practices in southern Tunisia. She is now working as a post-doctoral researcher for REPAiR exploring “resilient and equitable pathways to nature-based solutions in Southern Africa’s rangelands”.
Linda holds a BSc in Economics from Nottingham University, a Masters in International Affairs from Columbia University at the School of International Political Affairs where she specialized in Energy and the Environment, and a PhD at IDS.
