Professor Karen Bell

Professor of Social and Environmental Justice (Urban Studies & Social Policy)

Biography

Professor Karen Bell currently researches and teaches Just Transition, environmental justice and eco-social policy and politics.

Prior to 2008, Professor Bell was a community development coordinator, working alongside disadvantaged communities to address issues such as social inequality, racism, disability discrimination, and environmental exclusion and inequity. From there, she gradually moved into community and environmental research. In 2011, she completed her PhD on Environmental Justice at the University of Bristol.

Since then, she has carried out a number of related research projects. This has included work on ‘Achieving Environmental Justice’ which analysed and compared environmental justice strategies and outcomes in a variety of political, economic and cultural settings, including the US, UK, South Korea, Sweden, China, Bolivia and Cuba. More recent work on ‘Fair and Inclusive Social and Environmental Transition Alternatives’ continues this comparative theme, while emphasising transition paradigms i.e. ‘Green Economy’ and ‘Living Well’ (Vivir Bien). She has also recently carried out qualitative work on ‘Working-Class Environmentalism’ which looks at how to build an environmental movement that is attractive to a wider range of social groups. Her most recent research is at the intersection of Labour and Sustainability studies, in collaboration with Trade Unions. This work includes investigating how to accomplish a Just Transition of the defence sector.

Her current research projects are :

‘Critically Green: Mineral Extraction and the Military’

‘Gypsies Forging Sustainable Futures: Representing Romani Environmental Knowledge and Practices Through Traditional Metal Artwork and Dance’

Professor Bell has been a Visiting Research Fellow with the United Nations Research Institute on Social Development (2018) and with the Asian Institute of Energy, Environment and Sustainability (2017). She was awarded a Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in 2014 and, from 2016-2019, was an ESRC Future Research Leader Fellow.

Her research has been funded primarily by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC); the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC); the British Academy and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
