Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Theology and Religion, Durham University Dr Georgina Robinson is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Theology and Religion and Centre for Death-Life Studies at Durham University, with research interests primarily grounded in the interdisciplinary field of death studies. Georgina completed her PhD at Durham University in early 2023, with a thesis entitled ‘Alkaline Hydrolysis: The Future of British Death-Styles’. The research, which explores how alkaline hydrolysis may be adopted in accordance with the sociocultural and worldview contours of contemporary Britain, pioneered the first study of the funerary innovation in the United Kingdom and involved transatlantic fieldwork in the UK and USA. Following the completion of her PhD, Georgina was appointed as Postdoctoral Research Associate on a large European Digital Death Project (funded by EU-CHANSE), working alongside academics at the Universities of Durham, Helsinki, Aarhus, and Bucharest. The impact of her work has been far reaching and she has been invited to present her research findings internationally in academic, funerary, and public settings. Georgina’s academic career began and continues in Durham in the Department of Theology and Religion, with her interest in death studies beginning to blossom during her undergraduate degree. Alongside her PhD, Georgina holds a MA in Religion and Society and BA in Theology and Religion, both awarded by Durham University. Since 2020, Georgina has worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Theology and Religion, leading seminars and delivering guest lectures for modules including ‘Death, Ritual and Belief’, ‘Worldview, Faith and Identity', ‘Emotion, Identity and Religion’, and ‘Sects, Prophets, Gurus’.

Research Associate in the School of Social Sciences, Cardiff University I'm a researcher in the School of Social Sciences at Cardiff University. My work focuses on the lived experience and justice implications of low carbon technologies and infrastructure change. I talk to people about energy. Then write about it. My research background is in policy, science and technology studies specialising in the social acceptability of socio-technical transitions, particularly in the field of energy. My most recent research has examined issues of justice, vulnerability and social acceptability relating to transitions towards more flexible energy systems, and the ways identities and experiences rooted in place shape citizens' concerns and desires for transitions towards a low carbon economy. Wider interests include discourse and institutional theory, and novel methods for bringing identity and emotional attachment into public deliberations over sociotechnical change.
