Dr David Clelland

  • Lecturer in Rural Regeneration (School of Social & Environmental Sustainability)

Biography

David is Lecturer in Rural Regeneration at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies in Dumfries.  He joined the School as a researcher in 2013; previously he was with the Training and Employment Research Unit where he specialised in local economic development, labour market analysis and evaluations of employment programmes.

His doctoral research was on the role of governance and agency in regional economic development, looking at the experience of Dumfries and Galloway over the past two decades, and tracing the emergence of new initiatives for the South of Scotland and the 'Borderlands'.

He is currently engaged in two international research projects with Professor Fabrice Renaud concerned with the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic - looking at the effects of border closures on economic activity and land use in northern Vietnam, and responses, resilience and recovery of the 'Blue Economy' in Scotland, Germany, Costa Rica and Massachusetts.

His other recent work has included:

  • Research to support the development of a Regional Economic Strategy and Anti-Poverty Strategy for Dumfries and Galloway, and socio-economic profiles of the region's different areas.
  • A survey of community councils in Scotland to explore their engagement with community resilience activity
  • Research into the measurement of poverty and deprivation in rural areas, and how it is used in policymaking

David has also worked with the Glasgow End of Life Studies Group, contributing to the publication of the third World Map of Palliative Care Development.

Research interests

  • Local and regional economic development
  • Multi-scalar governance
  • The measurement of poverty and deprivation in rural areas
  • Community resilience
