The research is led by a collaborative, highly interdisciplinary team of senior, mid- and early career researchers from faculties across UoS and Bath Spa University, led by Dr Emma Roe. Each brings great academic experience and authority in representing their disciplines as leading thinkers in: waste science and water chemistry (Professor Ian Williams, UoS Engineering & Environment); cultural geographies of nonhuman life (Dr Emma Roe and Dr Charlotte Veal, UoS Geography and Environment); innovative arts and humanities methodologies (Dr Owain Jones, BSU Humanities and Cultural Industries, Dr Paul Hurley, UoS Geography and Environment); engaging with publics through legal and ethical frameworks (Dr Adrian Viens, UoS Law School).
