Professor Huggins is currently engaged in research on ‘Collaborative governance and dispute resolution in the mining sector in the Great Lakes Region of Africa’ with funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Fieldwork for that research is being conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania. As a co-applicant on a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant (PDG) entitled ‘Resource nationalism in Southern Africa: policy challenges and emerging opportunities’, he is engaged in research collaboration with scholars from the University of Windsor, York University, and several academic and research institutions across Southern Africa. He is also involved in research on questions of control over land, food security, and the use of new technologies in land use planning and related activities in Africa.
