PhD Supervision:

To date I’ve supervised 7 PhD candidates to completion (two received University of Kent scholarships and one British Library scholarship). Two have already successfully published their theses into monographs. 5 of them have found academic positions, 3 of which are permanent positions. I welcome students with interests in the social study of emerging technologies, risk governance, alternative food network, social movement, epistemic injustice, environmental politics or state-society relations.
