Jeremy Schmidt is Senior Lecturer of Environmental Geography at Queen Mary, University of London. He was previously a post-doctoral fellow in social anthropology at Dalhousie University and Harvard University, then Assistant and Associate Professor of Geography at Durham University.

In addition to his research, Jeremy co-edits the journal Area, published by the Royal Geographical Society.

Jeremy – Kate Turner here. We studied at McGill together. I was just in a seminar about water ethics through work (Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Drinking Water Management Division) and heard reference to a book edited by Jeremy Schmidt. I thought, “I know that name”…and lo and behold, it’s you. Wow – you sure have accomplished a lot in the 5 years since I last saw you 🙂 Congrats on your post-doc.
