Naomi Beingessner is a social researcher in the Social Economic and Geographical Sciences Department (SEGS) [2] and a member of the 'Land and People' Group. Naomi has a BEd and an MA in Justice Studies, both from the University of Regina, Canada, and a PhD in Environment and Geography from the University of Manitoba, Canada. Her dissertation, "Changing relations of agricultural land tenure and access in the Canadian Prairies" [3], advances the understanding of the social construction of property and contestation over the meaning and consequences of private property in land, particularly as it relates to sustainable land management and the public good.
My research focuses on socio-economic impacts of land use and ownership change on rural peoples. My interests include property theory, food systems, multi-stakeholder decision making, and environmental land management. I have substantial experience with qualitative data collection and analysis, community research and engaged scholarship through my PhD and MA research and a three-year position managing a social science and humanities-based community research institute in a Canadian university.
