Climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution represent wicked problems that are influenced by anthropogenic activity and harm the health of humans and the planet. Within the University of Glasgow College of Social Sciences many researchers, across disciplines work on topics related to health and the environment. However, many are working in silos and unaware of colleagues researching similar topics. The Global Health and Environment Interdisciplinary Research Theme (GHE IRT) aims to act as a beacon bringing together social scientists and other researchers across and beyond the University working at the intersections of health and the environment to showcase their existing research, forge new collaborations, and grow interdisciplinary research in these critical areas.
Associate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Strategy Communication/Science and Technology Policy at the Adam Smith Business School with expertise in risk communications strategy, addressing inequalities, and community engagement. She is a Strategy and Technology Management Research Cluster member, an Associate of the School of Health and Wellbeing, and an Affiliate Researcher at the Cogito Epistemology Research Centre.
Senior Lecturer in Environmental Science and Risk at the School of Social and Environmental Sustainability. Her research focusses on chemicals, waste and pollution. She is the Research Director for Scotland’s National Centre for Resilience, Senior Fellow of the University of Glasgow’s Centre for Public Policy and Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Senior Lecturer in Medical Anthropology at the School of Social & Political Sciences with a long-standing interest in dirt. Her work spans from her undergraduate dissertation, ‘Dirt on a Yorkshire allotment site’, to exploring the intersections of bodily excreta & infrastructure, to the concept of dirt in social sciences. She focusses on how dirt relates to human bodies, how we manage cleanliness, project these attributes onto others, and interact with hygiene infrastructure (or lack thereof).
Skills and Culture - the aim is to establish and expand awareness about the new GHE IRT, identify interested researchers, and foster research collaboration across schools and colleges.
Research Income - the aim is to support and encourage grant application submissions, particularly for external grants, and provide assistance in grant writing for early career researchers.
Impact, Engagement, and Dissemination - the aim is to promote engagement with non-academic audiences, enhance communication across disciplines in GHE research, and showcase the impact of the research through events like research exhibitions.
