Edward Rogers: Professorial Lecturer

Mary Rojas: Professorial Lecturer

Eric Ross: Professorial Lecturer
Eric received his BA in anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania and his PhD in anthropology from Columbia University. His doctoral research was on the ecology of warfare, subsistence and food taboos among the previously unstudied Peruvian Achuara, a sub-group of the "Jivaro" Indians of the Upper Amazon.

From then on, much of Eric's work has concentrated on the political, economic and ecological conditions that shape dietary patterns, but with increasing concern with complex social systems, the dietary consequences of colonialism and the nature of food systems within the framework of contemporary globalisation. A major focus of interest (supported in the early eighties by grants from the U.S. National Endowment for the Humanities and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research) was the nature of subsistence and famine among the Irish under English rule. From then on, much of Eric's work has been a sustained critique of Malthusian interpretations of poverty and underdevelopment, culminating in his book, The Malthus Factor: Poverty, Politics and Population in Capitalist Deevelopment (Zed Books, 1998), and in a stream of seminal papera, including "Malthusianism, Capitalist Agriculture and the Fate of Peasants in the Making of the Modern World Food System," in the Review of Radical Political Economics.
