PhD Candidate, Climate Activism, University of York
I am a mature student from a widening participation background. I have a first class BA(hons) in Sociology and an MA in Social Research both from the University of York. I am now in the 3rd year of an ESRC funded PhD student at the University of York sociology department researching youth climate activism as a novel form of protest. My research is a qualitative study for which I have interviewed 16 to 24 year olds about their own activism, climate protest and how they view their futures. In addition to my studies I teach as a GTA for the Sociology department and recently worked as a research assistant on a study researching the protest group, Extinction Rebellion.
