Professor Johnson received his PhD from the London School of Economics in 2000. His research and professional interests centre upon the governance of social policies aimed at reducing risk and vulnerability to chronic poverty, forced displacement and long-term environmental change. Between 2000 and 2002, he was a post-doctoral fellow with the Overseas Development Institute in London, where he helped lead a three-year study of liberalization and livelihood diversification in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. In 2009, he was an ESRC-SSRC Visiting Fellow with the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and the Environmental Change Institute, both at the University of Oxford.
With a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, Dr. Johnson is currently taking forward new research on forced displacement and climate change, exploring the politics of migration, sovereignty and citizenship in the South Asian context. The study is using key informant interviews, public opinion surveys and archival research to understand the ways in which political elites perceive and respond to the threat of climate-induced migration, identifying policies and best practices that may be used to accommodate the needs of populations affected by rapid onset disasters and long-term environmental change. Its empirical focus is the Ganges-Brahmaputra Basin, a region that is home to an estimated 400 million people and two of the world’s largest cities.
