Leigh Price
Leigh Price is a Zimbabwean-born ecophilosopher who has worked primarily in the field of environmental education. She is an Associate Professor at the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and a Research Associate of the Environmental Learning and Research Centre, Rhodes University. She is the Editor of the Journal of Critical Realism and was a colleague of critical realist philosopher Roy Bhaskar at the Institute of Education, University College London, where she spent time as a Research Associate. In 2007, she co-authored a book with Roy Bhaskar and Berth Danermark entitled "Interdisciplinarity and wellbeing: a critical realist general theory of interdisciplinarity"[1]. She has developed a philosophy for ecology that she calls "deep naturalism"[2] and she calls for a "common-sense" approach to climate change mitigation and environmental management[3]. Her research interests include critical realist research methodology[4], interdisciplinarity[5], environmental education[6][7][8][9], HIV education[10][11], and wellbeing[12]. Her alma mater is the University of Zimbabwe, where she studied Biological Sciences as an undergraduate, afterwards obtaining a Master's degree in Tropical Resource Ecology, focusing on plant-insect inter-relationships[13] and later home-garden forestry practices[14]. She obtained her PhD in Environmental Education from Rhodes University. Her PhD thesis was a critique of environmental education in the context of business and industry[15].
