Caitlyn Sears
National Science Foundation & Indiana University Bloomington
Caitlyn is broadly trained human geographer and works as an NSF post-doctoral fellow at the Department of Geography at Indiana University Bloomington. Her critical research sits at the nexus of economic and development geography and centers on understanding: (1) South-south development, cooperation and trade; (2) role of firms, states and ecological dimensions of supply chains as they relate to regulation and development; and (3) challenges associated with missing, incomplete and unreliable data. Her most recent research examines the global pesticide complex and shifting nodes of production of pesticides, specifically to the Southeast Asian region, and Malaysia in particular.
