  I am at Lancaster on a one year ESRC postdoctoral fellowship. During this I will communicate my previous work, both to other academics through journal articles and other audiences, and gain teaching experience. My research interests are in the history of science, in particular twentieth century British physical and environmental sciences, and also in energy history. I am also interested in climate change, disasters, practices and patronage. Office phone number: 01524 594175 (note: no answerphone, please email instead)

  Adam Fish

  I graduated in 2012 with a PhD in cultural anthropology from the University of California, Los Angeles. I investigate the interface of economic and political power, cultural discourses and practices, and networked communication technologies. These interests coalesce into critical and ethnographic investigations into digital culture, media policy, and media activism. More generally my interests include: cultural anthropology, digital culture, internet, television, journalism, social media, convergence, indigenous media, media policy, social justice movements, democracy, start-up culture, culture industries, critical theory, neoliberalism, ethnographic methods, the public sphere, and video and television production. I am undertaking two media policy research projects this year: First, I am conducting an ethnographic investigation into media reform in the UK in the wake of the News of the World phone hacking scandal. Secondly, based on interviews with proponents, I am undertaking a comparison of the discourse of "internet freedom" as a corporate as well as a social justice concept.

  Katerina Katerina Psarikidou

  My PhD project aims to investigate the ways Alternative Agro-Food Networks (AAFNs) may embody alternatives to the dominant, highly capitalised and knowledge-intensive contemporary agro-food system. Focusing on rural and urban AAFNs in Northwest of England, it explores the political, knowledge and moral economic aspects of AAFNs. In doing so, it aims to bring into creative dialogue these two contemporary developments of the AAFNS and the KBBE and investigate whether AAFNs could not only constitute an alternative to KBBE but also an alternative KBBE which go beyond the narrow 'capitalocentric' view of the contemporary agro-food system.

  Elizabeth Shove

  My recent research has been about how social practices change and about the implications of these dynamics for everyday life, energy demand and climate change. Previous work has explored aspects of consumption, design and material culture and changing conventions of comfort, cleanliness and convenience. I am interested in extending the range of social theory that is used in public policy. See my personal web page for links to publications and projects.
