Prior to his retirement in 2007, Robert A. Dodgshon was Gregynog Professor of Geography at Aberystwyth University in Wales.
His primary research interests are in Historical and Cultural Geography. His work has focussed on two themes. First, he has worked on how geographical change works itself out in the very long-term, and the role played by institutional inertia in shaping such change. Second, he has worked on the cultural ecology of farming communities over the medieval and early modern periods, with a particular emphasis on mountain communities in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and the Western Alps.
He is a Founding Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales (2010), as well as being a holder the Scottish Geographical Medal of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society (2003) and the Murchison Award of the Royal Geographical Society (1996). He served as a Council Member of the National Trust (2001-08) and the Countryside Council for Wales (1997-2004), as a member of the Joint National Nature Conservation Committee (2003-04) and, as President of the Society for Landscape Studies (1997-2008).
