Noel Castree FAcSS (born 2nd April 1968) is a British geographer whose research interests are in capitalism-environment relationships. He is currently the editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal Progress in Human Geography.
Castree was born in Bury, Greater Manchester, UK and has a BA in Geography (first class honours) from the University of Oxford, and an MA (1992) and PhD from the University of British Columbia (May, 1999). He taught for 5 years at Liverpool University before joining the University of Manchester in 2000 and becoming a Professor of Geography in the School of Environment and Development in 2004. In January 2014 he joined the University of Wollongong in Australia, in a new Department of Geography & Sustainable Communities. He returned to Manchester University in late 2017.
His "principal interests are in the political economy of environmental change, regulation and contestation". He has sought to develop and apply Marxian approaches to understanding a range of environmental problems, with an emphasis on understanding the meaning and limits of 'commodification'.". One of his main intellectual contributions to the discipline of geography is advancing the concept of "social nature"; another is anatomizing the 'neoliberalisation of nature'. He has served twice as a managing editor of peer review journals, once for Antipode and more recently for Progress in Human Geography.
