This hybrid workshop aims to introduce students, early-career researchers, and other interested participants to contemporary fire research through a series of global, African, and Malagasy case studies. The workshop will explore the social, ecological, and governance dimensions of fire, while showcasing a range of research methods that can be applied in environmental and sustainability research.
