Dr Joe Deville

I am looking to supervise students interested in the intersections between some of the following areas: economic sociology, science and technology studies, non-representational/affect theory, consumption/consumer behaviour, data proliferation/informational mobilities, digital methods, debt/credit/money, and open access publishing.

See more about my supervision interests here.

Dr Allison Hui

I would be happy to work with students whose projects relate to my areas of interest, including

• Practices (practice theory, media practices, structuration, science and technology studies approaches)
• Transforming or innovating with methodologies (decolonising, creative methods, qualitative methods, engagement-focused methods)
• Consumption (everyday life, materiality, energy demand/sustainability)
• Interdisciplinary projects, especially human geography space/place, migration/mobilities
• Social/organisational leadership and transformation

Professor Elizabeth Shove

Research students welcome on topics relating to social theories of practice; infrastructures and institutions of everyday consumption, climate change and issues of energy and water demand; design, materiality, technology studies and research policy.

Professor Vicky Singleton

I welcome research students and have supervised 22 students researching in a range of substantive areas. I am especially interested in students researching how policy is done in locations of practice and also in how care is done in practice. I have worked with several care practitioners seeking research qualifications. I am interested in and have expertise in qualitative research including ethnography, participant observation, interviews, and textual analysis in the form of detailed case studies. I am keen to work with students and collaborators to articulate and to appreciate the work of practice of care interventions, programmes, policies, technologies, systems and guidelines.

• Environmental Justice
• The Anthropocene

• Informal settlements
