Projects:
S4S: Designing a Sensibility for Sustainability, PI on this AHRC-funded project (£435,000 FEC) which seeks to generate more sustainable clothing practices through engaging project participants in workshops mending, making and modifying clothes. The development of a sensibility for sustainability is assessed using interviews, wardrobe audits, fashion consumption diaries, surveys and analysis of natural talk during the workshops.
Caught in the Act of Protest, funded by the European Science Foundation (£285,000 FEC for UK case). I led for the UK case of this pan-European project, which involved systematically surveying large scale street protests across Europe. For more information about this, please see the project website www.protestsurvey.eu.
Doing TB Differently, funded by the ESRC (£200,000 FEC). This project explored the potential of deliberative forums to help create a more workable TB policy to blanket badger culling. I as principal investigator, with Steve Hinchliffe (Geography), Robbie McDonald (ESI, Biosciences) and Stephan Price (RA).

Community Based Initiatives in Energy Saving, funded by the RCUK Energy Programme (£945,000 FEC). I work as co-investigator with colleagues from the Universities of Southampton, Westminster and Reading, using a matched case controlled experiment to understand whether community based initiatives can deliver a net saving in household energy demand.

Comparing Climate Policy Networks, funded by the US National Science Foundation (US$24,000 for the UK case). With collaborators in over 20 countries, we are using policy network analysis to understand whether advocacy networks are responsible for divergent climate change policies across nations.
