About
PhD Student on Pathways to Understanding the Changing Climate
My PhD research focuses on the interchange between land and labour in East Anglia; how working in a particular landscape shapes both the people and the places concerned. I am also conducting a subsidiary research project on the role of sustainability discourses in the grassroots campaign against shale gas extraction in the United Kingdom.
From August 2014-August 2015, I carried out fieldwork in the Broadland region of Norfolk working with land management professionals, with a view to understanding how their experience of the land shapes their attitude towards environmental issues more broadly.
