Bikrum Singh Gill

Bikrum Singh Gill serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science within the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences.

His research centers on the intersection of political ecology, decolonial theory, and political economy, with a focus on racialized social-ecological relations under global capitalism. Current work examines post-financial crisis land grabbing in Ethiopia by Indian agricultural firms, analyzing how colonial-capitalist modernity shapes contemporary resource extraction. His scholarship critically engages with Eurocentric frameworks in climate change epoch debates (Anthropocene/Capitalocene), emphasizing non-European contributions to landscape formation and the erasure of indigenous knowledge through colonial appropriation.

Dr. Gill's media presence includes coverage in The Guardian (2015) regarding Ethiopian land struggles, reflecting his research's real-world policy relevance. His upcoming projects challenge dominant narratives in environmental humanities by foregrounding global histories of social-ecological co-constitution beyond European agency.
