Faculty Member, School of Environmental Sciences
Professor of Climate Change
About
I am Professor of Climate Change in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA). My work explores the idea of climate change using historical, cultural and scientific analyses, seeking to illuminate the numerous ways in which climate change is deployed in public and political discourse.
I believe it is important to understand and describe the varied ideological, political and ethical work that the idea of climate change is currently performing across different social worlds. My research interests are therefore concerned with representations of climate change in history, culture and the media; with how knowledge of climate change is constructed (especially through the IPCC) and the interactions between climate change knowledge and policy; and with the construction, application and evaluation of climate scenarios for impacts, adaptation and integrated assessments.
I was the founding Director (2000-2007) of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, previously worked in the Climatic Research Unit in the School of Environmental Sciences at UEA (1988-2000), and before this lectured in geography at the University of Salford (1984-1988).
