Biography

Isaac Lyne is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS). He graduated with a PhD from the Institute in 2017, for a thesis on the role of social enterprise in community development in two peri-urban villages in eastern Cambodia. His data collection entailed action research harnessing Asset Based Community Development (ABCD), setting out to explore the role and viability of social enterprise in strengthening wellbeing and natural resource management, in contexts of precarity and enduring trauma. Isaac is currently working on “Building the evidence base on the impacts of mobile financial services for women and men in farming households in Laos and Cambodia”, a 5-year project commissioned by Australia Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). As a previous post-doctoral fellow at ICS funded by the SeedBox International Environmental Humanities Collaboratory hosted at Linköping University in Sweden, Isaac engaged with water distribution in eastern Cambodia using a “business at the bottom of the economic pyramid approach”, through environmental humanities and his prior interests in community economies research. Between 2009 and 2012 Isaac coordinated “Social Enterprise in Cambodia: Capacity building for inclusive business”, commissioned by the British Council’s Development Partnerships in Higher Education (DelPHE) programme and delivered in partnership between the Royal University of Phnom Penh in Cambodia, University of Bradford Centre for International Development in the United Kingdom, and an award-winning social enterprise called “Friends International.” To date Isaac has authored/co-authored peer reviewed journal articles for Water Alternatives; Development Policy Review; Journal of Enterprising Communities; Asia Pacific Viewpoint; Education, Knowledge and Economy and Social Economy Revue (RECMA).
