Name

Dr Karen Parkhill

About

Moving from Cardiff University in September 2013 Karen Parkhill is now based in the School of Environment, Natural Resources and Geography at Bangor University. Karen is a human geographer who uses innovative qualitative methods to examine risk perception and how the public socially construct and engage with environmental and technocratic risks. Such risks include: energy technologies such as civil nuclear power; renewables; climate change and geoengineering. She is also interested in how the public engages with/resists notions of low carbon lifestyles and low carbon transitions, including examining how they themselves consume/perceive energy. The interaction of place, space and context underpins and flows throughout all of these interests.
