Hi Greg, This may be of interest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVFKpPisam8
I am not sure if and when they will run this again however. As a pointer from somebody who did a PhD in exactly the area you are interested in, the most interesting new questions that academics can and need to be focusing on realte to valuation studies - the valuation and financialisation of nature. Check out the Leverhulme Centre for the Study of Value. Good luck with the PhD journey, and make of it what you want.
