Profile
I am a doctoral candiate within the Sustainability Research Institue and Interdisciplinary Applied Ethics Centre. My research is concerned with local and global climate justice. I am interested in the risks that climate adaptation and mitigation policies pose to already vulnerable groups. As part of my research I look into how we can conceptualise this process and how we might formulate policy that better avoids these outcomes. I work with the capabilities approach to conceptualise how these vulnerabilities arise and how they might be exacerbated.
I am also interested in exploring alternative policy measures as to how we might curb societal and personal emissions in equitable and more inclusive ways. In particular I am keen to explore policy measures which look beyond market mechanisms as a means of curbing emissions.
I studied Environment, Economics, and Ecology at the University of York, before converting to a MEnv with a focus on corportate social responsibility.
