Carson Fellow Stephen Bell erforscht das Gebiet der historischen Geografie Brasiliens des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Es werden ebenso Überlegungen über die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung von Graslandschaften oder Savannen angestellt wie darüber, wer die Verantwortung für deren Veränderung trägt. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Forschung stehen die Arbeit des deutschen Geographs Leo Waibel sowie die Länder Deutschland, USA und Brasilien. Er überprüft, in welchem Zusammenhang sie vor allem in Bezug auf die biologische Geographie stehen. Stephen Bell ist Professor an der UCLA in Los Angeles für Geographie und Geschichte.

Carson Fellow Stephen Bell explores the intellectual history behind the land development of Brazil in the mid-nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Citing German geographer Leo Waibel’s work as being at the heart of his research, he strives to not only understand how Brazil’s natural resources came to be seen as agricultural resources, but also to synthesize points of theoretical influence between German, American, and Brazilian land development. Prof. Dr. Bell teaches geography and history at University of California, Los Angeles.
