Dr Claire Heffernan is currently Director of the Livestock Development Group at the University of Reading. A veterinarian by training, she founded the group in 2000 based on the need for a meta-disciplinary approach to pro-poor development. Group disciplines include psychology, linguistics, philosophy, law, veterinary medicine, informatics, and computer science.
Claire’s interests include the impact of livestock on the environment, ranging from the creation of biodiversity and global impact models to explorations of the current discourse. Her aim is to support evidence-based, environmentally-sound praxis for the global livestock sector.
Claire holds a BA from Smith College, a DVM from Tufts University, and a PhD from the University of Reading.
