Personal profile
Research interests
My research centres on the application of deliberative democracy for real world decision-making, with a particular focus on net zero. Further research interests include: mapping and understanding environmental public discourse; uncovering overlooked rationalities and how these might inform a new environmental politics; and how organisation structures can nuture radical political agencies and actions on climate change. I also work as an academic supervisor for student research initiatives with a civic university dimension, and design and run public engagement projects with a range of external organisations concerned with climate change, sustainability and environmental degradation.
I currently teach sustainability, risk and environmental sociology and politics on final year UG and PG programmes.
