Philip's research explores the historical evolution of forest governance in Sierra Leone, using the Gola Rainforest National Park as a case study. He will examine how British colonial legacies continue to shape contemporary conservation practices and their effects on human-nature relations. Drawing on decolonial and political ecology scholarships, his work will critically examine these dynamics and contribute to more just and transformative approaches to forest governance that reconnect local people and communities with the forest.
