Research area & interests
Hello world! I am an interdisciplinary social scientist, and my current research interests cover many aspects of the digital and biosocial. Key areas include digitally-enabled knowledge production for conservation, online environmental participation/citizenship, and technological mediations between humans and wildlife. I am also deeply interested in the practices and concepts of interdisciplinary research.
I currently hold a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scribing online responses and resistance to environmental loss & the threat of extinction. Previously, I conducted an ethnography of interdisciplinary knowledge production in newer models of university-business collaborations.
When not being a social scientist, I can be found outdoors looking for birds and bugs. The nature blog I co-write is Winging It. In 2017, I started the BAME network at Newcastle University and have since become involved in navigating multiple race and ethnicity-based issues.

Hi Hwei Ling, not sure if you are still having issues downloading. You should get a terms and conditions page first if you click on the link I gave. If you accept, it will take you to the thesis item record, and if you scroll down to files, you will see the download link for the thesis. Alternatively, I believe you can request for the hard copy via interlibrary loan through NIE library. If easier for you, you can also drop me an email directly, I will be happy to send you a copy.
