I��completed a��BSc (honours) in Human Geography at Macquarie University and a PhD at the University of Newcastle. Before arriving at ���������¼� I��held post-doctoral positions at the Department of Geography at the Open University and the Department of Sociology at Lancaster University. I also��held a Research Council’s UK Academic Fellowship at the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience Department of Geography, Durham University (2007-2011).

My research is situated between the fields of Science and Technology Studies (STS), social and cultural geography and contemporary social theory. My��research focuses on the social constitution of processes of technological and environmental change. In this context I have��documented the constitution of��vernacular��understandings of, and��responses to, technological, scientific and environmental change, and have��explored novel means for promoting diverse forms public participation. Deploying qualitative and ethnographic methodologies, my research has explored the societal dimensions of, and public engagement with, climatic change, bio-nanotechnology, geoengineering and contemporary water treatment and supply.

I am currently CI on two ARC Discovery Projects. Together with Prof. Alison Ritter (���������¼�), Dr. Kari Lancaster (���������¼�) and Prof. Jason Chilvers (UEA) I am a CI on the ARC DP Designing Illicit Drug Policy Solutions: The Role of Participation (DP200100909, 2020-2022), that deploys a novel ethnographic and praxiographic approach to participatory policy processes in the domain of illicit drug policy.��In collaboration with A/Prof Thom van Dooren (USyd), Dr Emily O'Gorman (Macquarie), Prof Stephen��Muecke (���������¼�), Prof Grace Karskens (���������¼�), Dr Natalie Osborne (Griffith) & Dr Peter Minter (USyd), I am CI on the recently awarded ARC DP Narrative Ecologies of Warragamba Dam (DP220101258, 2022-2026).

Prior to these awards, between 2014-2018 I took up an ARC Future Fellowship (FT130101302, Governing Climate Futures: The Social and Political Ramifications of Climate Modification, $713,402). In the context of my ARC Future Fellowship I took up a visiting position in the School of Geography, Oxford University (September 2015-December 2015).

Between 2014-2021 I was a CI in the ARC Centre of Excellence on Convergent Bio-Nano Science and Technology (CBNS, CE140100036, 2014-2021, $26 million). My involvement in this large and multi-institutional project represented an innovative collaboration between scientific and technological research and social scientific reflection. In this context I led one of the Centre’s ten signature projects, focused on the ‘social dimension of bio-nano interactions.��
