Abstract

Brian Garvey is a Northern Irish geographer who graduated from the Geography department at Queen’s University of Belfast, in Northern Ireland, with a doctorate from the University of Sheffield in England. He is currently a professor in the Department of Work, Employment and Organization at the University of Strathclyde, in Galsgow, Scotland. Brian has a close relationship with Brazilian Agrarian Geography, developing research projects that involve questions about rural workers, social movements, the effects of the use of pesticides in agriculture, and, more recently, the impacts of mining on indigenous and riverside populations in the Amazon of Pará. . He was the postdoctoral supervisor of Larissa Bombardi, a professor in the Department of Geography at USP who produced the Atlas “Geography of the use of pesticides in Brazil and connections with the European Union”, for which Professor Garvey wrote the preface. The interview aimed to learn a little about the life of a geographer who spent his childhood and youth - and studied geography - in a country in conflict, in a very tense period in Northern Ireland, and relate this life story with his research and teaching options in Geography. The interview was carried out in Portuguese, on May 22, 2024, in the village of Drymen (Scotland) where Brian Garvey lives with his family.
