My academic research revolves around the governance of sustainability transitions, where I take particular interest in the human-environment interactions among community groups and other organisations – e.g. how and why environmental attitudes, risk perceptions, and associated ecological behaviour vary across distinct social and stakeholder groups, different biophysical settings, and diverse places. In this work, I <\/em><\/span>enjoy drawing attention to the multi-level interplay of knowledge and policy development, within sustainability transitions, as well as any associated strategic planning processes and outcomes.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

Kanawat Asawachatroj<\/strong>. Exploring sustainability motivations and behaviours through the lens of minimalist emotions.<\/em><\/span>
\nDepartment of Marketing and Reputation<\/span><\/a>, Henley Business School<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Minimalists, people living with a less materialistic lifestyle, are emerging as an essential sustainability phenomenon, focusing on having less and consuming less. Based on the literature, minimalists can be classified into fiv<\/span><\/em>e types. Each type of minimalist might have different emotions towards their sustainable lifestyle.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In my research I work to identify what dominant emotions minimalists experience when they generally talk about their chosen <\/span><\/em>lifestyle. By looking at specific sustainable behaviours or initiatives, I then explore what emotions minimalists associate with, and feel in relation to each activity.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\nDepartment of Real Estate and Planning<\/span><\/a>, Henley Business School<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My research interests lie in the field of housing quality and urban design, and their relationship to the behavioural practices of urban residents. <\/span><\/em>I currently investigate the relationship between climate change and household energy-relevant practices, examining the influence of housing design and neighbourhood characteristics on an individual household’s capacity to adapt to climate change. The study is geared towards understanding how householders’ everyday practices are intertwined with processes that create and reproduce vulnerability to climate change and how these factors may be reshaped to enrich residents’ adaptive capacity to it.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\nDepartment of Geography and Environmental Science<\/a><\/span>, School of Archaeology, Geography and Environmental Science<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My interest in w<\/span><\/em>ater is inherently connected to my life story. I come from a country where there was a shortage of water, but I grew up in a developed state where toilets were flushed with drinking water and daily bathing was the norm. My personal experience, together with my academic education, have led me to study the water-energy nexus, political power and the relationship between the human and the non-human. Over the years, I have focused on the interconnection between water and energy resources, with a particular interest on water governance, the production of knowledge and everydayness.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In my current project, I am studying how water pollution is framed by the government in Algeria and how this is shaped by <\/span><\/em>the hydrocarbon sector. As a case study, I am examining the district of El Harrach in Algiers. Overall, the aim of my research is to further our understanding of the interrelation between water pollution, water policy, and people\u2019s relationship with the environment.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\nDepartment of Real Estate and Planning<\/span><\/a>, Henley Business School<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My journey from research assistant to doctoral student was nearly 20 years in the making, transected by a career in environmental strategy\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0practice. Over the years I have engaged with various visions ranging from the inspired to the disappointingly generic, which made me realise that visions\u00a0matter.\u00a0Powerful, shared visions have the potential to shape policy\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0action (for better or worse), so they often deserve more consideration\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0creative thought. My current research focuses on how individual\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0group visions coalesce to form shared spatial imaginaries of ‘better’ food futures, in the context of UK food partnerships. Unlocking these ‘imagined’ transition destinations gives us insight into questions of agency (who creates these visions\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0who is excluded?), legitimacy (how are they shared\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0justified?)\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0their influence on policy, practice and<\/span>\u00a0consumption patterns.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\nDepartment of Sustainable Land Management<\/span><\/a>, School of Agriculture, Policy and Development<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My PhD project aims to examine how we can govern agricultural innovation and transition in a way that ensures that both the process and its outcomes are sustainable, socially just, and legitimate. In this project I develop a comprehensive framework to underpin the governance of sustainable transitions, further theoretical and practical insights into perceived legitimacy of transition processes and outcomes, develop a tool to measure perceived justice of agricultural transitions, and explore farmers\u2019 adaptive capacity to a proposed transition. To underpin the theoretical developments empirically, I conduct a case study on the proposed post-Brexit agricultural transition in England.<\/p>\n

My wider research interests include the governance of sustainability transitions, collaborative environmental governance, policy analysis, stakeholder participation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Overall, I believe that research can contribute to solving some of the main problems that societies are facing, but only if this research takes a systems perspective and is done collaboratively with the people who are affected.<\/p>\n

\nSchool of Construction Management and Engineering<\/span><\/a>, School of the Built Environment<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I am researching the effectiveness of Green Infrastructure (GI) for mitigating urban heat stress and improving perceived outdoor thermal comfort in cities of different climatic typologies. Climate forms the precondition of a living environment containing physical elements of an ecological system and leaves a social imprint on phy<\/span><\/em>sical well-being and the attitudes of people. However, urbanisation brings profound changes for the urban landscape structure and people\u2019s lifestyle, resulting in climate warming and pollution as well as great threats to human health. Therefore, it is important to create a comfortable urban climate for outdoor city life under excessive heatwave events and continuing urbanisation. GI can not only provide pedestrian-level thermal comfort as an effective engineered facility type but also guide urban growth in a city\u2019s spatial development such as parkways, greenways, garden cities, and green belts as a planning approach. Thus, GI plays an important role in creating a more comfortable urban climate for outdoor activities and promoting sustainability planning. The visioning process for most desirable comfortable urban climate future is designed for co-producing both quantitative and qualitative scenario types, including land use and microclimate models as well as accompanying narratives of stakeholders. The practical contribution would be GI implementation policy and practice guidance for a more comfortable urban climate and targeted to planners and other urban decision-makers.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\nDepartment of Real Estate and Planning<\/span><\/a>, Henley Business School<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My research lies at the nexus of race, the built environment and everyday life, and seeks to investigate how race is perceived and experienced by residents in Singapore\u2019s neighbourhoods. The social dimension is often overlooked with regards to more sustainable and resilient urban futures, but a strong social fabric is absolutely vital for the success of initiatives aimed at tackling social, economic and environmental challenges facing cities globally.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Race and racial inequalities have featured prominently in many recent global events including the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, Covid-19 pandemic and the Grenfell Towers fire. My research seeks to d<\/span><\/em>evelop a greater understanding of how race is managed at different levels, and eventually contribute towards a greater understanding of how co-existence can be harmonious and even productive in recognising and celebrating diversity, amidst an epoch of rapidly intensifying migration and hybridisation of identities.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My PhD research addresses socio-legal issues embodied within the deployment of AFR surveillance in contemporary public spaces. Within modern urban environments, public and private policing bodies have sought to incorporate AFR surveillance into their property management and crime control strategies. My research considers whether these technological advancements could hinder our ability to exercise and understand our fundamental rights within public spaces.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

It adopts a legal-geography approach to understanding the nuances of AFR surveillance. This approach develops insights into the varying dimensions surrounding legal regulation, the commercialisation of surveillance technology, the socio-legal construct of public space, and the theoretical foundations of data protection and privacy law.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

My research has led me to believe that in the present-day world it is ever-more necessary to promote critical thinking skills in all people and populations. I originally reached this conclusion when writing my specifically racism-orientated MA thesis, which considered the aspects of culture and personal psychology that maintain structures of prejudice within a society. My current work looks more broadly at how the capacity for objectivity and the ability to question received wisdom and assertions of \u2018truth\u2019 have become deeply important skills \u2013 in interpersonal interactions, in our internal decision-making, in our consumption of media and media-like information. Recent weeks have demonstrated more clearly than ever before (to those that had any doubt) that unconscious bias is still an enormous problem, and without the tools with which to assess and reassess our internalised beliefs the recognition of deeply entrenched and problematic thinking is almost impossible.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If we do not learn to better understand ourselves and the workings of our own mind, the prospect of further divisiveness, polarisation, reinforcement of prejudice is not simply a possible future, it is the future. If we cannot take control of our own opinion-formation, it will be done for us. <\/span><\/em>I have begun my own journey towards achieving this goal, working with the university, the council, The Brilliant Club, and as a private freelancer. I have recently begun an academic blog, available here:\u00a0https:\/\/natasharobson.hcommons.org\/<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\nDepartment of Real Estate and Planning<\/span><\/a>, Henley Business School<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My current research focuses on the emergence of a new post-COVID workplace ecosystem scenario in cities (e.g., home; office; third places; urban ream), examining <\/em><\/span>the relationship between the physical workplace environment and employee engagement. Research on both workplace and employee engagement has long been dominated by studies focused on the office environment. This can be widely observed within many different disciplines (e.g., organisational psychology, environmental psychology, etc.). Although there is some evidence in the scientific literature of studies conducted specifically on remote work, the research on distributed workplaces and their influence on organisational outcomes is very limited.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

However, what does the \u2018engaging\u2019 workplace mean now when a default workplace for most global organisations is hybrid? The COVID-19 pandemic has widely accelerated new work trends that are now having an enormous impact on the research on real estate and planning, among others. But to better understand it, we must develop primary data that will help us to investigate these new patterns for the future resilience of our cities.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My interest in social and environmental sustainable food work is rooted in both my academic studies and professional experiences. I have been a professional chef for 18 years and have been exposed to the unsustainable approaches and attitudes towards food produce, food workers and natural resources by industry professionals. I observed on the job how unethical and unsustainable food trends develop and institutionalise. My academic background in Environmental Science & Sustainability (BSc) and Climate Justice (MSc) has instilled in <\/em><\/span>me the belief that sustainable transitions surrounding food production and (re) distribution must be \u201cjust\u201d and the most marginalised people in both high income and low income countries must not be left behind.\u00a0 Therefore just transitions must \u00a0be representative of people of all genders, races, classes, creeds and sexualities.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, my research interests lie at the relationship between food, power, society and the environment.\u00a0 My PhD research is concerned with: The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on women\u2019s paid and non-paid foodwork from a critical feminist\u00a0 perspective. In order to capture the experiences of women from all backgrounds, I will be using an intersectional lens. The aim of my research is to contribute towards a future foodscape for women building upon their ideas of what a more resilient and equal foodscape looks like.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
