Kerry Waylen
Kerry Waylen is a senior researcher in the Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences (SEGS) research group at the James Hutton Institute. Kerry has a background in both the natural and social sciences, and field experience in several countries, in both Europe and parts of 'the Global South'. She focuses on the challenges of achieving participatory and holistic natural resource management, with a particular focus on the Ecosystem Approach and the challenges of governing complex socio-ecological systems. Her early work was largely focused on community-level conservation but in recent years, she has increasingly focused on how higher-level institutions affect and interact with what happens ‘on the ground’. Her work is not situated in a single academic discipline, but is informed by ideas from political ecology, environmental governance and Science and Technology Studies. She currently works part-time (70% FTE).
Current research interests
Kerry's main ongoing research projects
- Exploring narratives underpinning European policies and how these affect environmental management, within the project MAGIC 'Moving Towards Adaptive Governance in Complexity: Informing Nexus Security', running 2016-2020 and funded by EU H2020.
- Leading a multi-partner collaboration "Monitoring and Evaluation for Ecosystem Management (MEEM) - Comparing theory and practice across Europe" to assess the extent to which adaptive management is supported by the monitoring driven by key European policies. This runs 2017-2018 and is funded as a 'High Impact Action' funded by ALTER-Net, Europe's ecosystem research network. The focus is now on communicating and discussing the work.
- Identifying how interacting policy instruments shape consideration of tradeoffs in natural resource management, and will explore opportunities to use new instruments such as Payments for Ecosystem Services. This is funded by the Scottish Government RESAS Strategic Research Programme 2016-2021.
- Managing a package of work on 'Effective Water Management', and within this leading work to identify lessons in Delivering multiple goals via catchment partnerships. This is funded by the Scottish Government RESAS Strategic Research Programme 2016-2021.
Her research is motivated by the following research questions:
- When might it make sense to adopt new concepts and instruments for environmental management? How can we best understand the challenges and consequences of implementing such new concepts, especially those (such as the 'Ecosystem Approach') that encourage a systemic approach to connect multiple issues?
- How are different knowledges produced and used in collaboration and decision-making for environmental management? If and how do concepts (such as ecosystem services) or tools (such as scenario-planning) influence processes of knowledge co-production, including in science-policy interfaces?
- How can we better enable stakeholder participation in environmental management, including Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) ? What are the social and environmental consequences of doing so?
Kerry's expertise includes the following skills for carrying out, managing and communicating research:
- Qualitative research methods e.g. semi-structured interviews, participant observation, Rapid Rural Appraisal, qualitative thematic analysis using both inductive and deductive approaches.
- Quantitative research methods e.g. design, deployment and quantiative analysis of paper and online surveys for primary data collection, design and deplyment of systematic reviews and meta-analyses to identify and analyse secondary data
- Design and facilitation of workshops for knowledge exchange and/or data collection.
- Engaging and communicating with varied audiences using varied methods, from short written briefings, longer reports and academic papers, through to videos, oral presentations and blog posts.
- Research project management, line management, student supervision, data management and research ethics.
Kerry currently co-supervises 1 PhD student: Kirsty Holstead, who is building understanding of community water governance, funded by a Hydronation scholarship, with Dr Shona Russell at the University of St Andrews. She previously co-supervised Sam Poskitt, who is exploring the potential of scenario-planning to support learning for sustainable development, joint funded by ESRC and the James Hutton Institute, with Dr Andrew Ainslie at the University of Reading. Sam obtained his PhD in March 2018 and now works at the University of Reading on the participatory extension work in developing countries.
Kerry is a trustee of the Orskov Foundation, a charitable foundation that supports students and communities to develop sustainable land use to support livelihoods in lower-income countries. She is also a research associate of CECHR, the Centre for Environmental Change and Human Resilience at Dundee. Within the Institute, Kerry is leader of the 'Society Institutions and Governance' sub-group of SEGS, and she also founded the SEGS blog.
Past research
She jointly led research with Kirsty Blackstock to understand the potential and challanges of implementing the Ecosystem Approach, funded by the Scottish Government RESAS Strategic Research Programme 2011-2016. Click here to visit the webpage of the Ecosystem Approach Review. This and several other projects have explored multi-level constraints on adopting more systemic and/or participatory approaches to environmental management, including: exploration of the barriers to implementing natural flood management in Scotland; analysing the first round of River Basin Management Planning for implementation of the Water Framework Directive in Scotland; and appraising the factors that can act as barriers to improving water quality.
She has explored the potential of scenario-planning to support natural resource management: she first explored scenarios of future change environmental, social and policy change for FP7-project REFRESH, then for COMET-LA (an EU FP7 project on Community-based Management of Environmental Challenges in Latin America) she explored if and how scenario-planning can assist communities to identify and develop sustainable community-based management. From 2012-16 Kerry used this knowledge to support Malawian villages and district-level planning for integrated natural resource management in two projects called "Water Futures: Towards Equitable Resource Strategies" aimed to improve the resilience of Malawi'sn water management, whilst successor project 'MAJI' focused on how to take account of climate change.
Kerry also has expertise on knowledge co-production processes relating to environmental management: she co-led WP2 for the FP7 project ‘SPIRAL’ (Science Policy Interfaces for Research Action and Learning, for biodiversity). She has used this expertise to help support practical science-policy connections in later projects such as MAGIC. For example, she helped designed the ESPPI:CREW project to evaluate science-policy and practice links for the Scottish Centre of Expertise in Waters and was involved in CATCH II, an initiative which aimed to try to better connect policy, practitioners working in and for integrated catchment management.
Prior to working at the James Hutton Institute Kerry's PhD research, carried out at Imperial College London 2006-2009, examined how combinations of individual views, culture and local institutions could influence the outcomes of community-based conservation in developing countries. In addition to policy-relevant work with NGOs, her prior experience included social research into attitudes towards nature resources in Trinidad, as part of an MSc from Imperial College. Her first degree is a MA in Natural Sciences, from Cambridge University.
