Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Law
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

David J. Connor mainly investigates Agronomy, Special education, Disability studies, Crop and Agroforestry. The Agronomy study combines topics in areas such as Biomass and Soil water. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Inclusion, Gender studies, Educational research and Resistance.

The concepts of his Disability studies study are interwoven with issues in Gerontology, Learning disability and Race. His Crop research incorporates themes from Arid, Field experiment, Photosynthetically active radiation and Interception. David J. Connor has included themes like Cropping, Agriculture, Productivity, Tillage and Pruning in his Agroforestry study.

His most cited work include:

  • Crop Ecology: Productivity and Management in Agricultural Systems (576 citations)
  • Productivity and management of rice–wheat cropping systems: issues and challenges (549 citations)
  • Dis/ability critical race studies (DisCrit): theorizing at the intersections of race and dis/ability (248 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Agronomy, Disability studies, Pedagogy, Agroforestry and Special education. His Agronomy research includes elements of Soil water and Canopy. His studies deal with areas such as Learning disability and Narrative as well as Pedagogy.

His Agroforestry research incorporates elements of Agriculture and Ecology. His studies in Agriculture integrate themes in fields like Productivity and Agricultural science. The various areas that he examines in his Special education study include Inclusion, Gender studies, Educational research and Field.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (38.40%)
  • Disability studies (16.00%)
  • Pedagogy (14.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Disability studies (16.00%)
  • Pedagogy (14.80%)
  • Special education (12.80%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Disability studies, Pedagogy, Special education, Agriculture and Medical education. His Disability studies research includes themes of Social science, Higher education, Narrative and Public administration. His study on Special education also encompasses disciplines like

  • Race that intertwine with fields like Critical theory,
  • Inclusion that intertwine with fields like Social psychology.

His work in the fields of Agriculture, such as Organic farming, overlaps with other areas such as Business and Context. His research investigates the connection with Productivity and areas like Agroforestry which intersect with concerns in Crop. His Crop study is concerned with the larger field of Agronomy.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Structure, management and productivity of hedgerow olive orchards: A review (90 citations)
  • Issues for cropping and agricultural science in the next 20 years (52 citations)
  • Who is Responsible for the Racialized Practices Evident within (Special) Education and What Can Be Done to Change Them (44 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Law
  • Agriculture
  • Ecology

David J. Connor mainly focuses on Special education, Pedagogy, Disability studies, Agriculture and Agroforestry. His Special education research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sociology of Education, Social science and Science education. David J. Connor has researched Pedagogy in several fields, including Ideology, Mathematics education, Set, Group dynamic and Locus of control.

His study in Disability studies is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Social change, Curriculum and Developmental psychology. His work on Organic farming as part of general Agriculture research is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Agroforestry brings together such families of science as Microclimate, Habit, Evergreen and Transpiration.
