Congratulations to our new PhDs

We are proud to have two newly awarded PhDs within the Agenda 2030 Graduate School! Congratulations to Linn Ternsjö at Lund University School of Economics and Management and Billy Jones at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, who both successfully defended their theses with distinction.

Linn Ternsjö’s research explores how the textile industry in Mauritius has affected working conditions and social sustainability, particularly for women and migrant workers.

Billy Jones’s research investigates why efforts towards sustainable development in Baringo, Kenya, have often failed when international projects overlooked local solutions, and how pastoralists have instead developed their own strategies, such as grass farming, to cope with climate change and marginalisation.
