Dr Timothy Hodgetts

Departmental Lecturer and Course Director, MSc in Nature, Society and Environmental Governance

Academic Profile

Timothy is an environmental geographer whose research examines the ways in which nonhuman life is governed across different spatial scales and situations. Past projects have ranged from: exploring how people live with the microbial life in their homes, to the politics and practices of conservation and rewilding for woodland mammals in the UK, to the cross-border legal protections for large carnivores under international treaties. Current interests include how nonhuman life is made present within engineering practices. His research has been funded by the ESRC and through Research Fellowships at Oxford University.

Timothy re-joined the School of Geography and the Environment in 2021, having completed his DPhil at the school some years previously. He has a BA (Hons, first class) in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford, an MA in Environment, Policy and Society from the Open University, and an MPhil in Geography & the Environment from Oxford.

Teaching and Supervision

Timothy is the Course Director for the MSc in Nature, Society and Environmental Governance, on which he convenes and teaches in the Governance, Policy and Politics module and the Research Methods and Practice module. Timothy has previously taught human geography at undergraduate level through positions at Jesus College and St Hilda's College.
