Andrew P. Vayda (born 1931) is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Ecology at Rutgers University. BackgroundFormerly a professor at Columbia University, he has taught also at the University of Indonesia and other Indonesian universities and at the University of British Columbia. He is an Adjunct Professor at Monash University and at the University of Indonesia, and Senior Research Associate of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, Indonesia.[1] The journal, Human Ecology, was founded by him, and he was its editor for five years. He serves on the editorial boards of Borneo Research Council Publications, Forests, International Journal of Indonesian Studies, and Human Ecology. ContributionsAfter a long career as an anthropologist of Pacific and South East Asian peoples, Vayda specialized in methodology and explanation at the interface between social and ecological science and has directed and participated in numerous research projects on people’s interactions with forests in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Latterly he took part in a research project on causes of peat fires and their consequences in carbon emissions in the Indonesian province of Central Kalimantan. Among his methodological contributions was the development of progressive contextualization, an effects-to-causes approach to examining and explaining human-environment interactions that he subsequently rejected in part. In the 1990s, a brief critique of political ecology accuses that field of confirmation bias by virtue of prioritizing and searching out the effects of power relations on local land uses and cultures and of not being sufficiently open to other explanations through an abductive, effects-to-causes 'event ecology' approach.[2] Event ecology has, in turn, been critiqued.[3] WorkHe has published some hundred articles and several books, including Explaining Human Actions and Environmental Changes, a selection of his essays on explanation and explanation-oriented research in the social sciences and human ecology, published by AltaMira Press in 2009, and Causal Explanation for Social Scientists: A Reader, co-edited by him and Bradley Walters, published by AltaMira Press in 2011. A festschrift in his honor, Against the Grain: The Vayda Tradition in Human Ecology and Ecological Anthropology, with a concluding chapter by him on “Causal Explanation as a Research Goal,” was published in 2008 by AltaMira Press.
