Pathways for environment research: academia, activism, policy

Aimed at PhD and ECR researchers who are thinking about their future in environmental research, this roundtable brings together three researchers who have taken different pathways with their PhDs. Professor Rosaleen Duffy, Chair of International Politics at the University of Sheffield, will speak to her academic career as a researcher and teacher of global environmental change and governance. Dr Jane Clarke, Principal Analyst at the Office for Environmental Protection, will discuss her experience working on environmental policy across both non-government and government sectors. And Dr Kai Heron, Lecturer in Political Ecology at Lancaster University and co-director of the progressive policy platform Abundance, will share his experience as an activist researcher and using academia to further social movement goals.

The discussion will shed light on different ways to use your environment PhD, what different career pathways can offer, and opportunities for intersections between them.  We hope you can join us!
