PhD Candidate at UCL Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) department, UCL
I am a PhD candidate at UCL, and what really piques my interest is the clash and blend of different ideas, or 'imaginaries,' that swirl around these potential climate interventions. Reading research on geoengineering is like entering a room where economists, ethicists, policy analysts, and climate scientists are all having a debate ranging from should geoengineering even be a subject of research to what geoengineering could be. I'm curious about how these diverse perspectives shape the way we think about geoengineering. It's not just about whether it could work and cool the planet; it's about the stories we tell ourselves on why, how, and for whom we might do it. This research involve creating a space for these different voices to hash out what solar geoengineering futures or non-futures might look like.
