Alice is an Environmental Social Scientist in the Social, Economic and Geographical Sciences Department. Her research focuses broadly on local-level engagement with environmental issues and climate change, sustainability transitions, and connections between people and nature. She has been awarded a PCAN Fellowship (2020-2021) by the Place-based Climate Action Network (funded by the ESRC) for a study investigating climate adaptation policy and action at the local level, looking at the north-east of Scotland as a case study.
Alice has a background in environmental science, science communication, and science and climate change policy. Alice began her career in science communication and science policy, and previously worked as Head of Science and Innovation for the Nordic region as part of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office’s Science and Innovation Network. She spent a year on secondment to the climate change team at the Swedish Ministry for the Environment and was a delegate to the UNFCCC climate change negotiations during this period.
