I am a qualitative researcher with a background in Geography, and Science and Technology Studies. I am interested in how humans build meaningful relationships with the natural world, and in the inter-action between scientific and other forms of knowledge, identity, and ethics in the forming of these relationships. My current Leverhulme Trust funded research explores these issues with regards to the changing ethics and practices of soil research and management in England. My previous research explored a range of issues associated with food production and consumption, renewable energy, and waste and sustainability. I have a long track record of interdisciplinary work, and I am interested in the role public-academic engagement can play in addressing social and environmental challenges.
