Postdoctoral research fellow, University of Tasmania

Postdoctoral research fellow, University of Tasmania Chloe began her career as a documentary researcher and producer for the BBC. After a stint as a divemaster on the Great Barrier Reef, she moved to Australia in 2002, and became an environmental communications consultant. Chloe recently completed a PhD on social polarisation about climate change. Focussing on the narratives and experiences of people who have tuned out from climate change messages, she looked at ways to rethink communication about climate change. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow on the ARC Discovery Project 'Geographies of house and contents under-insurance' (DP170100096), in which she is exploring how insurance and underinsurance affects people after climate-related natural disasters.
